Note: When the UV system is first plugged in, the alarm may sound temporarily until the lamp is operational. 12.Clean the distribution lines: Once the UV system is installed, any contamination in the distribution lines between the UV system and your water outlets must be removed. Similarly, if the power goes out and your system is not equipped with an automatic shut-off feature, you must also disinfect the downstream distribution lines. • Make sure the UV system is on. Leave the system on during the entire cleaning process. • Remove a filter housing said fill the filter container with bleach (remove the filter for this process). • Replace the filter housing and allow water to flow to all faucets (hot and cold, inside and outside the house), your washing machine, toilets, and all other water outlets. Once you can smell bleach in the hot and the cold water, turn the water to that outlet off. When this has been done for all outlets, let the water sit in the water lines for two to four hours. • Completely Hush all the lines a minimum of five minutes and then put the filter back in the filter housing. OPERATION Models A, B, and C Power Supply Model A is either 90-130V or 160- 264V (50-60Hz). Models B & C are either 90-140V (60 Hz) or 190- 265V (50Hz). Indicator Light When the lamp is operating properly, the indicator light on the power supply will be green. If the lamp is not operating properly, the indicator light will show red (Model A) or will not light (Model B or C) and an audible alarm will sound. The audible and visual alarm indicators will persist until either the problem is corrected or the system is unplugged from the electrical outlet. Note: It the system is unplugged the water will not be disinfected and the distribution lines will have to be cleaned. If you experience any kind of alarm (audible or visual), see the Troubleshooting Section of this manual. 12 Models D, E, F, Pro7, and Pro75 Power Supply Auto ranging, constant current power supply. Accepts 90-265V at 50-601-1z. display Push button Digital Display Under normal operating conditions the Digital Display shows the number of months that the lamp has been operating. In the event of a failure of any kind, the display will indicate the nature of the problem. See the Troubleshooting Section for details. Indicator Light During normal operation the indicator light will be green. Indicator light will turn ember: • when lamp has operated for 11 months • if UV sensor (if so equipped) detects a low UV output Indicator light will turn red: • when lamp has operated for 12 months • if signal from UV sensor (if so equipped) is below set point • if there is a failure of any kind, such as a lamp malfunction An audible alarm will sound when- ever the indicator light is red. The audible and visual alarm indicators will persist until the problem is corrected or the system is unplugged from the electrical outlet. It is possible to disable the audible alarm; see 24-Hour Alarm Postpone Function. Note: If the system is unplugged the water will not be disinfected and the distribution lines will have to be cleaned. If you experience any kind of alarm (audible or visual), see the Troubleshooting Section of this manual. Elapsed Time Meter The Elapsed Time Meter measures the number of months that the lamp has been operating. The lamp must be replaced after it has been operating for 12 months. • After 11 months indicator light turns amber. • After 12 months indicator light turns red and alarm sounds. After 14 months the alarm postpone function is disabled, indicating that the lamp must be replaced and that it is not providing proper disinfection. After lamp replacement, the time meter must be reset (see Elapsed Time Meter Re -Set Function). Push Button The push button has two functions 24-Hour Alarm Postpone Function: When the unit is in alarm, the indicator light is red and an alarm sounds. If you press the push button for less than two seconds, the indicator light will flash red and the audible alarm will stop. The unit is still in alarm, but the audio alarm stops for your convenience until you can contact a dealer. This alarm will re -occur after 24 hours if its cause has not been corrected. If the unit detects another problem during the 24-hour alarm postpone period, it will go into alarm again, the indicator light will turn solid red, and the alarm will sound. After 14 months of lamp operation, the alarm postpone will not work until the lamp is replaced and the time meter is reset. Elapsed Tme Meter Re -Set Function: After the lamp has been changed, the Elapsed Time Meter must be reset by following the procedure below: a) Disconnect the power supply and leave it unplugged for 10 seconds. b) Press and HOLD the push button. c) Connect the power supply to the outlet while continuing to press the push button. The indicator light will flash green for about 3 seconds. d) Continue to hold the push button until the indicator light flashes red, then release immediately. External Control Relay This feature provides switching for the operation of a solenoid (shut-off) valve and/or remote alarm. When the lamp is not operating properly or the UV sensor signals that the UV output is below set point, the contacts will open causing the solenoid to stop the water flow and/or a remote alarm to sound. The dry contact remains open if the lamp has been in operation for 12 months or more. UV Sensor The UV sensor measures the amount of UV light reaching it, allowing the system to monitor whether the intensity is above the minimum required for proper disinfection. The sensor is factory calibrated and is not field adjustable. 13 CAUTION: UV-C rays are present when the unit is operating. Follow the instructions carefully to avoid injury to eyes and skin. Only qualified persons should install or replace UV lamps or sleeves. 14 SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE There ere two regular maintenance requirements common to all UV systems: cleaning and lamp replacement. CLEANING Minerals in the water will eventually coat the quartz sleeve (which protects the Imp), as well as the sensor (if system is so equipped). This coaling must be cleaned off periodically because it reduces the amount of UV light reaching the water, thereby reducing disinfection performance. Once a month, check the sleeve and clean it if you can see a mineral coating starting to form. If sleeve requires cleaning, refer to Lamp Replacement instructions but re -install the original lamp. If system is equipped with a sensor, be sure to clean the sensor each time the lamp is cleaned, as per Lamp Replacement instructions. LAMP REPLACEMENT The temp's UV intensity decreases over time. You can safely use your lamp for 12 months, after which it must be replaced. For instance, if you use your system for 12 continuous months, you must replace your lamp at the end of this period. If you use the system only six months each year, you would need to change your lamp at the end of the second six-month period. Follow the steps outlined below to replace your lamp. Lamp Removal 1. Shut off water supply to (upstream of) the UV system. 2. Open a tap downstream of the UV unit to release pressure, then close this tap. 3. Unplug the power supply and let the lamp cool for 5 minutes. 4. Squeeze the sides of the safety cap in the area opposite the labs (do not squeeze labs), and remove the cap (Figure 1). 5. Pull the lamp plug off the lamp end (Figure 2). Do not pull on the cord when removing the plug. Note: During lamp replacement, the ground and strain relief wires of the lamp plug should remain connected to the peg on the reactor. 6. Holding the sleeve bolt, unscrew the lamp/sleeve assembly and carefully remove it from the reactor (Figure 3). Handle assembly by ends only. If required, a wrench can be placed on the two flat sides of the sleeve bolt. Do NOT apply the wrench to the lamp end, which sits within the sleeve boll and protrudes 1 /2". Z To remove the lamp from its sleeve, use a glove or cloth to support and hold on to the sleeve. Holding the sleeve bolt tight, unscrew the lamp end, the top of which protrudes 1/2" above the sleeve bolt (Figure 4). Be careful not to drop the sleeve.

FORM: Catawba falls lot 195 staff report 2006 AQUIFER PROTECTION REGIONAL STAFF REPORT V EVALUATIONAND RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Provide any additional narrative regarding your review of the application.: Performed the site visit accompanied by Perry Wyatt, soil scientist with the Winston Salem Regional Office. He confirmed that the suggested loading rates are within the acceptable range for the types of soils present. He suggested that the trees not be cut, and just a minimal amount of undergrowth be removed for line installation. Page 3, section (n) of the SITE PREPARATION REQUIREMENTS states that: "the surface of the ground in the area of the dripper lines, to a minimum distance of 5 feet from the dripper line locations, shall be raked to remove leaves and debris from the soil surface. This disturbed area shall be covered with 4 to 6 inches of mulch." Due to the very steep nature of the site, we recommend that the surface of the ground not be disturbed and no mulch be placed in the dripper line area. Disturbing the soil would likely promote erosion and any mulch placed on such a steep slope would soon be washed away. 2. Attach Well Construction Data Sheet - if needed information is available 3. Do you foresee any problems with issuance/renewal of this permit? ❑ Yes ® No. If yes, please explain briefly. 4.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR INITIAL SYSTEM INSTALLATION OF ON -SITE WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM WITH FINAL DISPOSAL BY SURFACE DRIP IRRIGATION SERVING CATAWBA FALLS SUBDIVISION LOT 195 PREPARED BY: MATT BURDETTE REVIEWED BY: KEITH ROBERTS, P.E. DEVELOPMENT CONSULTING SERVICES, INC. 1401 AVERSBORO ROAD GARNER, NC 27529 '�O� 2;Q 14 %"V 023728 EXPLANATION OF SYSTEM OPERATION AND DESIGN The wastewater disposal system recommended for this site consists of a pretreatment system and a four -zone surface drip irrigation wastewater disposal system containing the following: a 1,200 gallon septic tank with effluent filter; a 1,000 gallon recirculating tank with an Orenco AdvanTex treatment system; a 3,000 gallon pump tank for field dosing; a Geoflow Headworks pump controller with accessories for the 3,000 gallon pump tank; supply and return piping system; four surface drip irrigation wastewater disposal fields using Geoflow Wasteflow PC dripper line; and an alarm system for indication when problems with the system occur. It should be kept in mind that this system is designed to accommodate a moderate amount of wastewater from the household and that all measures should be undertaken to minimize the volume of water entering the system to include the following precautions: (a) Providing water conserving plumbing fixtures within the house; (b) Making timely repairs to leaking plumbing fixtures; (c) Developing conservative water use habits on the part of all members of the household; (d) Monitoring and maintaining the system as may be necessary for proper operation; (e) Checking and pumping the septic tank sludge on a regular basis of approximately every year when garbage grinders are included in the wastewater system (NOT RECOMMENDED) or every two years when garbage grinders are not included; (f) Insuring proper installation of this system by a competent Installation Contractor; and (g) Avoiding excessive sprinkling of the yard in the vicinity of the absorption fields. The system as recommended is intended to provide satisfactory wastewater disposal for the site for a reasonable period of time. Due to the rather complex inter -relationship between soil properties, system installation, wastewater habit patterns of the household, system maintenance, vegetative activity, climate and rainfall, and other factors over which the Engineer has no control, yet which ultimately influence the successful operation of a wastewater disposal system, the Engineer requires that he be relieved of any liability that may result from failing or malfunctioning of this system of wastewater disposal. The persons occupying this residence should be familiar with the contents of the Engineer's recommendations. A CONFERENCE SHOULD BE HELD WITH THE ENGINEER AND THE INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR IN ATTENDANCE PRIOR TO BEGINNING ANY ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE WASTEWATER DISPOSAL SYSTEM IN ORDER TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND TO INSURE THAT THE INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR WILL MAKE NO CHANGES TO THE RECOMMENDED SYSTEM WITHOUT FIRST OBTAINING WRITTEN PERMISSION FOR SUCH CHANGES FROM THE ENGINEER. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL COORDINATE HIS WORK SCHEDULE WITH THE ENGINEER AND WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT IN 12 ORDER THAT APPROPRIATE AND TIMELY INSPECTIONS OF THE CONSTRUCTION WORK CAN BE MADE. 13 DESIGN WORKSHEET SITE PREPARATION REQUIREMENTS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF AN INITIAL SYSTEM INSTALLATION SEPTIC TANK, ADVANTEX TREATMENT SYSTEM, PUMP TANK AND SURFACE LAND APPLICATION DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM OF WASTEWATER DISPOSAL NOTE: PRIOR TO BEGINNING ANY ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE WASTEWATER DISPOSAL SYSTEM, THE INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR SHALL NOTIFY THE ENGINEER OF HIS INTENDED CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE AND SHALL ARRANGE A PRE -CONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE WITH THE ENGINEER AT THE SITE FOR THE PURPOSE OF REVIEWING THE WORK TO BE DONE AND FOR ANSWEREING ANY QUESTIONS THE INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR MAY HAVE ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WASTEWATER SYSTEM.

Total dripper field required = 360 GPD divided by 0.033 GPD/SF = 10,900 ft 2 required — 10,900 ft.Z divided by 3' spacing = 3,634 linear feet of drip line required. Recommend 4 separate zones: Zone 1 of 2,725 f .2 = 2,725 ft.2 divided by 3' wide area per line = 909 linear feet of drip line required; Zone 2 of 2,725 ft.2 = 2,725 ft 2 divided by 3' wide area per line = 909 linear feet of drip line required; Zone 3 of 2,725 ft 2 = 2,725 ftZ divided by 3' wide area per line = 909 linear feet of drip line required; Zone 4 of 2,725 ft z = 2,725 f .2 divided by 3' wide area per line = 909 linear feet of drip line required 4. Because of excessive slope the actual dripper line spacing is 4 feet on center - Divide each field into separate lines along the contour as shown on sheet 3 of the engineering plans. 5. Each of the 4 disposal fields will have drip emitters every 2 feet of dripper pipe run. Therefore, zone 1 will have 460 emitters, zone 2 will have 460 emitters, zone 3 will have 460 emitters, and zone 4 will have 460 emitters. 6. Septic tank size = 1,200 gallon capacity precast concrete 7. Recirculating treatment tank size = 1,000 gallon capacity precast concrete.

Dosing flow rate per surface disposal field zone Zone 1 = 460 drip emitters per surface disposal field zone x 0.53 gallons per hour per emitter = 243.8 gallons per hour = 4.06 gallons per minute. Each field will receive (360 gpd)(460/1840) = 90 gpd. Pump run time for zone 1 = 90 gal./234.8 gph = 0.383 hours = 22. minutes, 59 seconds. Zones 2 = 460 drip emitters per surface disposal field zone x 0.53 gallons per hour per emitter = 243.8 gallons per hour = 4.06 gallons per minute. Each field will receive (360 gpd)(460/1840) = 90 gpd. Pump run time for zone 1 = 90 gal./234.8 gph = 0.383 hours = 22. minutes, 59 seconds. Zone 3 = 460 drip emitters per surface disposal field zone x 0.53 gallons per hour per emitter = 243.8 gallons per hour = 4.06 gallons per minute. Each field will receive (360 gpd)(460/1840) = 90 gpd. Pump run time for zone 1 = 90 gal./234.8 gph = 0.383 hours = 22. minutes, 59 seconds. Zone 4 = 460 drip emitters per surface disposal field zone x 0.53 gallons per hour per emitter = 243.8 gallons per hour = 4.06 gallons per minute. Each field will receive (360 gpd)(460/1840) = 90 gpd. Pump run time for zone 1 = 90 gal./234.8 gph = 0.383 hours = 22. minutes, 59 seconds. 12. Field flushing flow rate per subsurface disposal field zone Zone 1, 2, 3, & 4: have 4 return connections x 1.9 gallons per minute per connection = 7.6 gallons per minute required to flush. 13. Total FLOW required per subsurface disposal field Zone 1: 4.06 gpm dosing flow rate + 7.6 gpm field flushing flow rate = 11.66 gpm, say 12 gpm. Zones 2: 4.06 gpm dosing flow rate + 7.6 gpm field flushing flow rate = 11.66 gpm, say 12 gpm.

Zones 4: 4.06 gpm dosing flow rate + 7.6 gpm field flushing flow rate = 11.66 gpm, say 12 gpm. 14. Length of suction line from the field dosing tank to the headworks location = 20 linear feet of 1 1/4" diameter Schedule 40 PVC pipe (includes fittings). 15. Suction lift required from the pipe inlet within the pump tank to grade @ the pump location = 9 feet. 16. Calculations of line losses for pump system design are as follows: (a). Suction line friction loss through 20 LF (includes fittings) of 1 1/4" diameter pipe at 12 gpm = (2.34 ft./100 ft.)(20 ft.) = 0.47 ft. (b). Supply line friction loss through 115 LF (includes fittings) of 1-1/2" diameter pipe at 12 gpm = (1.10 ft./100 ft.)(115 ft.) = 1.27 ft (c). Return flush line friction loss through 236 LF (includes fittings) of 1-112" diameter pipe at 12 gpm = (1.10 ft./100 ft.)(236 ft.) = 2.6 ft. (d). Pump and filter unit friction loss at 12 gpm = 8.1 ft. (f). Elevation head = 0 ft. (g). Dripper line friction loss for 360' lateral = 18.48 ft. (h). Static lift from pump to control unit = 9 ft. (i). Pressure head required at drip field = 25 psi = 57.75 ft. TOTAL OF ALL LOSSES AVOVE = 0..47 ft. suction line loses + 1.27 ft. for supply pipe losses + 2.6 ft. return flush line losses + S.1 ft. pump & filter unit losses + 0 ft. elevation losses + 18.48 ft. dripper line losses + 9 ft. static lift + 57.75 pressure head = 97.67 ft. TOTAL losses @ 12.0 gpm flow rate. Pump must deliver 12 gallons per minute at 97.67 ft. of head. Use Zoeller model 5030-0008 submersible pump. DESIGN WORKSHEET PAGE 3 of 4 2?

PREPARED BY: Matt Burdette REVIEWED BY: K. Roberts, P.E. z DESIGN WORKSHEET (continued) GRAVITY SEWER AND FORCEMAIN TESTING SPECIFICATIONS Deflection Testing The deflection test shall consist of measuring the pipe for vertical ring deflection. Maximum ring deflection of the pipeline under load shall be limited to 5 percent of the internal pipe diameter. All pipe exceeding this deflection shall be considered to have reached the limit of its serviceability and shall be relaid or replace by the contractor at the contractor's sole expense. The deflection testing shall be accomplished by pulling a mandrel, sphere, pin -type "go/no go" device through the pipeline. The diameter of the mandrel, sphere, or "go\no go" device shall be 95 percent of the undeflected inside diameter of the flexible pipe. Pressure and Leak Testing General 1. Prior to testing any segment of the force main, care shall be taken to prevent the pipe from moving while under pressure. 2. Temporary taps and air releases shall be pennissible to facilitate testing. 3. Water used for testing force main installations shall either be disposed in a nearby sanitary sewer, as authorized by the local sewer authority, or in another location in accordance with State and Federal laws and regulations. 4. All testing shall be performed in the presence of the applicant, P.E., or other authorized representative. 5. The results of all testing shall be maintained by the applicant as part of the construction record documentaion. Pressure Testing 1. A hydrostatic pressure test shall be performed on each segment of installed force main. 2. The test shall be performed after the force main has been backfilled and at least seven days following the pouring of the last thrust block 3. The following procedures shall be followed in performing hydrostatic pressure tests on force mains: a. The force main segment shall be carefully filled with water at a velocity of approximately one foot per second. Water may be introduced ftom either the pump station or a temporary connection made in the force main. Appropriate measures necessary to eliminate all air from the force main shall be taken during this process. Once full of water, the force main segment shall be pressurized and allowed to stabilize at a pressure of 5 pounds per square inch. b. This pressure shall be maintained for at least one minute per 100 feet of force main. c. If the stated pressured cannot be maintained, the contractor is responsible for assuring that the cause of the failure is detenuined, all necessary 2 DESIGN WORKSHEET (continued) repairs are made, and repeating the hydrostatic pressure test until the force main segment passes. Leakage Testing 1. A leakage test shall be performed on each segment of installed force main at the hydrostatic pressure test described above. 2. Leakage shall be defined as the quantity of water required to maintain a pressure within five pounds per square inch of the specified test pressure after the pipe has been filled with water and all air expelled. 3. Leakage shall be measured with a calibrated test meter and shall not exceed the amount given by the following formula: _ ND,r L 7,400 where: L = allowable leakage (gallons per hour) N= number of joints in length of pipe segment tested D = Nominal diameter of pipe segment tested (inches) P = Test Pressure (pounds per square inch) All visible leaks shall be repaired regardless of the amount of leakage. If leakage exceeds this rate, the contractor is responsible for assuring that the cause of test failure is determined, all necessary repairs are made, and repeating the test until the force main segment passes.

(S&EC) has performed a soil/ste evaluation on Lot 195 in Catawba Falls Preserve in McDowell County, NC. This was -performed at your request as part of a preliminary planning process in order to determine areas of soil, which have potential for a wastewater disposal system. This lot does not contain enough suitable soils to support a 3-bedroom subsurface septic system. Therefore, a surface drip system, is being proposed. S&EC has determined the location and characteristics of asite that is potentially usable for a surface drip irrigation wastewater system. This report details S&EC findings and provides the necessary soWsite information needed for a drip irrigation system to be designed by a professional engineer. The potentially usable soil areas were flagged on the ground using a 1 orange &EC log flagging and are shown on the accompanying AutoCAD map (M p ). proposed drip field on the map does not meet all state of North Carolina buffer requirements. This is due to the property lines not being marked between the lots. The map also shows the approximate locations where measurements of saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) were performed. An USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service soil survey for McDowell County was available for use in utilizing recorded maps and data for the soil at this site. The upland soils on the site are most like the Cowee soil series. A profile description is attached. The site consists of upland sideslopes. Shallow depth to rock and steep slopes in the examined areas can be an unsuitable condition for subsurface disposal of wastewater. However, these limitations still allow the opportunity for surface drip application of treated wastewater on this site. The soil conditions in the proposed drip area are described in the accompanying soil profile description. No indications of seasonal wetness were found in the borings. The site is forested land with slopes that range up to approximately 709/6. Based on the dominant soil series (Cowee), the attached water balance shows that the site can hydraulically assimilate 19.58 inches of irrigation water per year. This is approximately Raleigh Office: Greensboro Office: 11010 Raven Ridge Road 3817-E Lawndale Drive Raleigh, NC 27614 Greensboro, NC 27455 Phone: (919) 846-5900,2 Phone: (336)540.8234 Fax: (919)846-9467 m_. rzue) Sdn-R235 equivalent to 0.38 inches per week. A three -bedroom house (360 gallons per day design flow) would require a minimum of 10,900 square feet of wetted area for drip irrigation application. The maximum instantaneous application rate should not exceed 0.15 inches per hour. Soils within the proposed drip area were also analyzed for current fertility conditions. Since the proposed drip area consisted of hardwood forest with comparable landscape position, past management and growing conditions are considered to be similar. Based on these similarities and the uniformity of the soils that were encountered on the site, one composite sample was used to infer soil fertility status. The standard soil fertility analysis was completed by A&L Eastern Laboratories, Inc on October 3, 2006. Soil sample results and fertility recommendations are included in "Soil Analysis Report" provided by A&L (see attached). Site disturbance should be absolutely minimized on the area to be used for surface drip application of wastewater. If the existing vegetation is to be removed, then special care (i.e. trees removed by hand) should be utilized in this removal process. Site disturbance could create unsuitable conditions for a drip system.. A permanent vegetative cover should be immediately established and maintained over the entire application field after installation. Calculations Maximum Instantaneous Application Rate (in/hr) Utilizing the attached Table 1 for typical ranges of soil infiltration rates the Cowee soil falls into the very fine sandy loam class in the 9+% slope range. This infiltration rate is 0.15 to 0.3 in/hr. The recommended rate is 0.15 in/hr. 2. Water Balance A water balance was developed for the proposed irrigation field by balancing water losses and gains: Evapotranspiration + Natural runoff + Drainage = Precipitation + Irrigation A. Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) PET data were obtained from the North Carolina University Experiment Station Bulletin 396, "Weather and Climate in North Carolina". Data for the Piedmont region was used. B. Drainage (DR) The drainage term was calculated by the procedure described in .2-1 US EPA 625/1-77-008, "Process Design Manual for Land Treatment of Municipal Wastewater". The percolation or drainage rate was calculated as 1% of the measured Ksat of the most restrictive horizon in the soil. Three Ksat measurements were made on site. Each measurement was made in the Bt horizon of the soil. The recommended Ksat value used by S&EC is 0.06 in/hr. Although the slowest Ksat value measured on site (2.0 in/hr) is higher than this recommended value, S&EC feels that 0.06 in/hr better represents the suitable drip area as a whole. 1.0% of 0.06 in/hr is 0.06 in/hr or 0.144 in/day. Input for this figure is based on 31, 30, and 28 day months. C. Natural Runoff (NR) Since the system is designed to operate with no runoff, the rate of natural runoff was not used in the water balance calculation. D. Precipitation (PPT) Precipitation data were obtained from the McDowell County Soil Survey. This data was gathered from 1951-1981 at Marion, North Carolina. The total rainfall from the 2 years in 10 column listed in the soil survey was utilized which was 65.68 inches. The monthly totals were taken as a percentage of this total rainfall. The yearly total was utilized to determine average application rates. The water balance application rates are assumed to be maximum rates in a 2 year in 10 rainfall year with normal distribution. Actual application rates will depend on actual precipitation during a given year. Specifications: Assumed Design flow - 360 gal/day 0 38 in/week) Allowable Irrigation Rate - 0.033 gal/ft lday Total minimum area needed for sprayfield—10,goo fl (wetted area) Maximum Instantaneous Application Rate- 0.15 in/hr The area required is the minimum wetted area needed for treated wastewater application. The usable soil area indicated on the attached maps was flagged (numbered 1 —18) by S&EC, and estimated to be in excess of 70,000 ft . The delineated area and property lines should be surveyed to make sure all setback requirements are met. The area flagged by S&EC is more than enough area for the septic system, but does encroach arean the shanais requirements since the property lines were not marked. By flagging out more needed it gives you and your engineer more options on system placement. 3� This report discusses the general location of potentially r inipl an s Goron-site surface as wastewater disposal and, of course, does not constitute&EC is a professional consulting firm that needed by the client from the Sate.

Approximately 2,000 textile filters have been installed throughout the United States and Canada, on sites ranging from federal demonstration proj- ects to university testing facilities, single-family homes, commercial properties, and com- munity systems. treatment technologies, the AdvanTex Treatment System provides Unlike other wastewater consistent- reliable wastewater treatment, even during "peals flow" conditions. The AdvanTex Treatment System includes a processing tank and a control panel with a pro- grammable dosing timer. So it discharges small amounts of treated wastewater, regularly, throughout the day. AdvanTex treats residential -strength waste to better than "secondary" standards. Effluent can be used for drip or subsurface irrigation, or discharged to shallow, inconspicuous fine-grained polishing filters for coliforrn removal trenches. It can also be discharged to and water reuse.

System Operation and Maintenance AdvanTex is easy to service, easy to clean, and generates virtually no troublesome activated sludge. Like most advanced technologies, the AdvanTex Treatment System requires regular maintenance. As a condition of warranty, property owners must purchase a service contract from a certified thud party provider. The AdvanTex Treatment System includes a VeriComm® telemetry control panel with a web -based monitoring system, supervised by the System's service provider. Alarm notifications are automatically sent to the service provider's e-mail capable device. Messages are resent until the condition has been cleared. As a back-up, the VeriComm control panel also has an audible alarm. And the System is sized to allow for a minimum of 24 hours of wastewater storage (at average daily flows). That means an operator can provide service to the system during normal working hours, regardless of when an alarm occurs. The AdvanTex System's pumps typically run 30-60 minutes per day, so AdvanTex uses very little power ... an average of $1.25-2.50 per month (based on the national average of eight cents per kilo- watt hour). Compare that to power costs of up to $20-$60 per month for many "activated sludge" aero- bic treatment units. Treatment Methodology The AdvanTex Treatment System works just like a recirculating sand filter: a reliable, proven technolo- gy that Orenco's engineers have helped to perfect over the past 20 years. While the treatment process is similar, the proprietary treatment module is more efficient. In an AdvanTex Treatment System, wastewater percolates through the textile media, whose complex fiber structure provides tremendous water -holding capacity and offers an extremely large surface area for biomass attachment. A visible biological film normally develops on the filter medium within a few days. BODS and TSS reductions occur almost immediately. NUA-ATX-7 Rev. 7.0, © 0102 Pogo 2 of 3 AdvanTex® AMIters Overview, cont Side Pending Pending w of a NDA-AT%-7 S(7 eov.7.0, ©0/02 Pago 3 of 3 0 NSF International EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Testing of the Orenco Systems Advantex AX20N, rated at 500 gpd, was conducted under the provisions of ANSI/NSF Standard 40 for Residential Wastewater Treatment Systems (July 2000 revision). ANSI/NSF Standard 40 was developed by the NSF Joint Committee on Wastewater Technology. The performance evaluation was conducted at the Mamquam Wastewater Technology Test Facility located in Squamish, British Columbia, using wastewater diverted from the Mamquam municipal wastewater treatment plant, which serves a predominantly residential neighborhood. The Mamquam Wastewater Technology Test Facility is a Standard 40 subcontractor for NSF. The evaluation consisted of six days of dosing prior to the start of sampling, followed by sixteen weeks of dosing at design flow, seven weeks of stress test and three weeks of dosing at design flow. Sampling started in the spring and continued into the fall, covering a range of operating temperatures. Over the course of the evaluation, the average effluent CBODS was 5 mg/L, ranging between <2 and 25 mg/L, and the average effluent suspended solids was 4 mg/L, ranging between <2 mg/L and 42 mg/L. The Advantex AX20N produced an effluent that successfully met the performance requirements established by ANSVNSF Standard 40 for Class I effluent: The maximum 7-day arithmetic mean was 14 mg/L for CBODS and 11 mg/L for suspended solids, both below the allowed maximums of 40 and 45 mglL respectively. The maximum 30-day arithmetic mean was 8 mg/L for CBOD5 and 6 mg/L for suspended solids, both below the allowed maximums of 25 and 30 mg/L respectively. The effluent pH during the entire evaluation ranged between, 6.0 and 7.2, within the required range of 6.0 to 9.0. The plant met the requirements for noise levels (less than 60 dbA at a distance of 20 feet) and color, threshold odor, oily film and foam.

See Figures la and lb. Fig. la Fig.1b AdvanTex Treatment System: Side View AdvanTex Treatment System: Top View AdvanTex treatment systems are capable of processing residential strength wastewater to better than "secondary standards" (see page 4, Figures 2a and 2b). Raw sewage enters the two -compartment Processing Tank through its inlet tee. In the first compartment, the raw sewage separates into three distinct zones: a scum layer, a sludge layer, and a clear layer. A flow -through ports) in the Tank's baffle wall allows effluent from the clear layer to flow into the second compartment of the tank. The Biotube® Pump Package in the second compartment pumps filtered effluent to a distribution manifold in the AdvanTex Filter. Effluent percolates down through the textile media and is collected in the bottom of the filter pod. The treated effluent flows out of the filter pod through the Filtrate Return Line that returns the treated effluent to the Recirculating Splitter Valve (RSV). The RSV automatically splits or diverts the flow between the Processing Tank and the final discharge. The RSV also controls the liquid level within the Processing Tank. During extended periods of no flow, 100% of the treated effluent is returned to the Processing Tank. The residential AdvanTex filters have a passive vent system and do not require the use of a fan. *This document is for residential applications only.

Mode 1 (shown in Fig. la and lb) is the operating configuration used most frequently. In Mode 1, the filtrate recirculates through the second compartment of the Processing Tank. In Mode 3 (a specialty mode), a portion or all of the filtrate may be recirculated through the primary chamber of the tank to enhance nutrient removal. Systems utilizing a separate Processing/Recirculation Tank, or systems that must provide high treatment levels, will be configured for Mode 1. Refer to AdvanTex Treatment System drawings for further details on Mode and discharge options. System Requirements: Residential Strength Wastewater Residential waste must meet the criteria in the "Residential Strength Wastewater" table, below. Consult Orenco or an authorized Dealer for larger system designs. Table 1.

System Requirements: Processing Tank Homes with flows up to 500 gpd require a minimum two -compartment, 1500 gallon tank with flow - through port(s) equaling a minimum flow -through area of not less than 12 —square inches at 60-70% of the lowest normal liquid level (see "Typical Liquid Level Positions" drawing). In larger residential systems, the first compartment should be sized at approximately 2/3 to 3/4 of the total processing tank volume. All tanks must meet minimum structural requirements, be completely watertight, and pass a watertight test including the riser/tank connection. For detailed specifications, see structural and watertightness criteria in Orenco's "General Specifications," document NDA-DG-SPEC-1 and tank specifications checklist in Orenco's "Concrete Tank Questionnaire." System Selection: Recommended Tankage and Filter Units AdvanTex treatment systems may be configured as shown in Table 2 to satisfy occupancy and flow requirements. The following charts summarize the recommended tankage and number of textile filter units based on the maximum design flow. Recommendations assume that residential peals weekly average flows are typically two times normal average daily flows (i.e., Qpwa = 2Qa+) and peak weekly average flows meet typical regulations governing gpd-to-bedroom ratios. ng2 53 nay. a.t, 1,09/0©gNz Page 2 of Table 2.

'Systems with occupancies greater than the maximums shown or greater than eight occupants require a design with multiple units based on a minimum of 25 It' of surface loading area per capita. 'Processing tank includes primary and secondary compartments. The secondary compartment functions as the recirc/blend chamber. IWith multiple tank configurations, a separate septic tank will precede the AdvanTex recirculation tank. *System applications greater than 6 bedrooms will require a design review by Orenco Systems, Inc. Design Loading Rates Orenco's suggested design loading rates are based on typical per capita flow rates and average strength characteristics expected from residential type installations, as shown above. Performance is a function of the expected typical loads with periodic weekly highs. Typically, the daily mass loading is based on the expected daily flows and parameter strength. Figures 2a and 2b show periodic peals loading capacity at 95% confidence level. The void capacity, surface area per unit volume, and moisture -holding capacity of textile are many times greater than that of sands or gravels, thereby enabling equal treatment at higher loading rates. If the loading rate (or mass load) needs to be reduced to meet discharge limits, it's a sim1ple matter of adding additional modular units. Operationally, the module's flexible and easily serviceable features make AdvanTex units an ideal, efficient, and effective solution for all wastewater treatment applications with domestic waste characteristics. Orenco Systems, Inc.'s AX20 AdvanTex Treatment System is listed as an ANSI/NSF Standard 40 Class I treatment unit for flows up to 1500 gpd in various configurations. However, in applications that are greater than six bedrooms, please contact Orenco Systems, Inc.'s Systems Engineering Department for more information. AdvanTex AX20 units that are required to carry the NSF mark will be labeled AX20N per NSF protocol. Typical Effluent Quality Effluent quality is dependent on a number of factors, including influent characteristics and loading rates. The following charts show third party ANSI and NSF 40 testing results. The results demonstrate that low -to -moderate loading rates produce cBOD and TSS of <5 mg/L, while higher loading rates produce cBOD and TSS in the range of 15-25 mg/L.

In Mode 3, nitrogen reduction can reach 85 percent or better, depending on wastewater strength and other characteristics like grease and oils, pH, and alkalinity concentrations. Nitrification can be inhibited if the buffering capacity (alkalinity) of the wastewater is too low. On a theoretical basis, 7.14 mg/L of alkalinity as CaCO3 is needed to nitrify 1 mg/L of NHq+- Pumping Equipment The integrated treatment package includes an Orenco Biotube® pump package. Residual Head Pressures A 5 ft. residual pressure is used to determine the initial time -dosing settings. (Residual pressures, however, may range between 1 and 10 feet, depending on system hydraulics.) Consulting with Orenco is required when the residual pressure dosing falls outside the typical 4 to 6 foot range. Recirculation Ratios and Timer Settings The AdvanTex Treatment System's 4:1 recirculation ratio and initial timer settings have been established based on the expected average daily flow. If flows vary significantly from expected flows, timer settings can be recalculated. See AdvanTex Installation Guide, NIM-ATX-AX-1, "Appendix 1: Timer Settings Worksheet." AdvanTex Control System Critical to the success of the AdvanTex Treatment System is the method in which the effluent is loaded onto the AdvanTex textile filter. Over the past three decades, timer controlled applications have proven to play an essential role in optimizing the performance of both fixed and suspended growth biological systems. A timer -controlled pump in the processing tank periodically doses effluent to a distribution system on top of the AdvanTex Filter. Each time the filter is dosed, effluent percolates through the filter media and is treated by naturally occurring microorganisms that populate the filter. During periods of high flow, a timer override float will temporarily modify the timer settings to process the additional NDA-AT%-2 Rev. 3.1. ©9/D2 55 PegoW5 flow. Conversely, during periods of low flow, the timer settings can be modified to reduce loading onto the AdvanTex filter. VeriComm® remote telemetry control panels and web -based monitoring system are incorporated into all AdvanTex Treatment System standard equipment packages. VeriComm gives wastewater system operators and maintenance organizations the ability to monitor and control each individual system's performance remotely. There are several additional operational benefits associated with telemetry -based controls, including Advanced Control Logic — functions that activate in the event of component malfunction to diagnose the system using pre -established trend data and, if necessary, modify the operation of the system until it can be serviced. VeriComm also provides additional alert and alarm functions to notify the operator/designer in the event that trend data indicate potential problem conditions (e.g. high flows). Surge Volume For most residential applications, the recommended surge volume is approximately 150 to 250 gallons. The actual surge volume used should be approximately 50-100% of the actual average daily flow. The surge volume is the volume between the normal low liquid level and the high water alarm float. The normal low liquid level is the level at which 100% of the filtrate returns to the tank. For most residential installations, the low liquid level will be approximately 5 to 6 inches below the top of the RSV cage. See the "Typical Liquid Level Positions" drawing for a description of typical RSV and float settings for residential systems installed in two -compartment tanks. Refer to AdvanTex Installation Guide, NIM-ATX-AX-1, for details. Cold Weather Considerations AX units are available with two inches of insulation attached to the bottom of the lid. Installing insulation around the sides of the filter pods themselves is optional and is done onsite as needed. Other cold weather considerations include standard practices used with most onsite pump systems, such as allowing all lines to drain, insulating processing tank lids, and backfilling risers with pea gravel if frost -heave is a concern.

Zoeller Pump Company is able to meet this need by offering a complete line of submersible effluent turbine pumps. These pumps have been proven in field applications and have many years of development behind them. Typical applications include mound systems, drip systems, and recirculating media filters. All units include cool running Franklin submersible motors that do not require external water flow to prevent overheating. Therefore, an outer pump sleeve is not required. Pumps can be installed directly in a dose tank as long as an effluent filter is used on the septic tank outlet.

In the rain. And the simplest, most effective way to prevent your sprinklers from coming on during or after precipitation Is the HunterMinl-C1110. Easily Installed on any automatic Irrigation system, Mint-Cllk shuts sprinklers off In a storm and keeps them off, automatically compensating for the amount of rainfall that occurred. Disks absorb water and then expand proportionally to the amount of rain that fell (e.g., a small cloudburst would result In little absorption, a thunderstorm with 6" of rain would lead to more absorption and thus more expansion). As the moisture -laden disks expand, they eventually activate a switch that Interrupts the circuit from the controller to the solenoid valves. Once dry, they contract and release the switch. Thus, the Mini-Cllk automatically resets without ever affecting your controller. Built to withstand the harshest conditions, there's no better way to ensure that your system Isn't watering when It Isn't necessary... no wonder the Mini-Clfh name has been synonymous with rain sensors for more than two decades.

It is designed using the grid concept with supply and flush manifolds at each end creating a closed loop system. The grid design provides a complete subsurface wetted area. The objective with effluent dispersal is usually to disperse the effluent using the minimum area as quickly and safely as possible at an approximately uniform rate throughout the year. If the main purpose of the Geoflow system is to irrigate, then please use the standard irrigation manual for landscape available from Geoflow, Inc. Subsurface drip is a hMghly efficient method to dispose of effluent. Small, precise amounts of water are uniformly applied under the soil surface from multiple points. The main advantages of Geoflow's subsurface drip system for effluent dispersal are • Human and animal contact with effluent is minimized, reducing health risks. • Correctly designed systems will not cause puddling or runoff. • It can be used under difficult circumstances of high water tables, tight soils, rocky terrain, steep slopes, around existing buildings, trees or other vegetation, and on windy sites. • Disposal of water is maximized by means of evapotranspiration. The system requires no gravel. It is easy to install directly into indigenous soils and the natural landscape can be maintained. • Minimizes deep percolation. • Consumption of nitrates by the plant material is increased. • Invisible and vandal proof installations. • Ten-year warranty for root intrusion, workmanship and materials. Systems are durable with a long expected life. • Non intrusive. It allows use of the space while operating. • Easily automated. Effluent can be re -used for irrigation. NOTES These guidelines are for secondary treated effluent When using primary treated effluent, Geoflow recormnends automating all the self flushing valves, and increasing the number of emission points in the dispersal field. For more information on septic tank dispersal, please check our website at www.geoflow.com or telephone Geoflow at 800-828-3388. Please follow your State and County Regulations for onsite wastewater dispersal. This manual is intended to be a guide to users of the Geoflow drip system and should be used only as a supplement to your local regulations WASTEFLOW© is a registered trademark of A.I. Innovations. a DIAGRAM 1: TYPICAL DRIPFIELD LAYOUT G"-10"deep (typical) JRL�—""""" in valve box PVC lope 1 1manifol Lockslip PVC to driphne adapter. Glued into 3/4" slip fitting. Flush line Not to scale Valve Box �wIe5 d _ _ tpump tank om flush Flush return to pretreatment tank VIM SYSTEM COMPONENTS: See Diagram I on page 3. A typical drip system installation will consist of the elements listed below: 1. WASTE, FLOW©DRIPLOM (See Appendix 1 for product specification) WASTEFLOW dripline carries the water into the dispersal/reuse area. The dripline is connected to the supply and return manifolds with Compression or Lockslip fittings. Typical spacing between each dripline and between drip emitters is 24"on center. 12"spacing is used regularly for soils with very low or high permeability. The pipe has no joints that may pull apart during installation and is ideal for tractor mounted burying machines. It is sold in 500-ft rolls. For export 400-m rolls are available. Roils of alternative lengths, diameters and dripper spacings may be special ordered. WASTEFLOW dripline features: a) ROOTGUARD@2 The risk of root intrusion with an emitter slowly releasing nutrient rich effluent directly into the soil is well known to anyone who has observed a leaking sewer pipe. All Geoflow drip emitters are guaranteed to be protected against root intrusion with ROOTGUARD. This patented process fuses the root -growth inhibitor, TREFLAN83 into each drip emitter during manufacturing. Treflan is registered with the United States EPA for this application. The ROOTGUARD technology slowly releases Treflan in minute quantities to prevent root cells from dividing and growing into the barrier zone. It is chemically degradable, non -systemic, and virtually insoluble in water (0.3 ppm). ROOTGUARD carries a 10 year warranty against root intrusion. b) U[traFresh© Protection Geoflow's WASTEFLOW has an inner lining impregnated with a an antimicrobial, Tributyl tin maleate, to inhibit adhesion of biological growth on the inside walls of the tube and the emitters. It does not have any measurable biological effect on the effluent passing through the tube. This minimizes the velocity required to flush WASTEFLOW dripline. The velocity only needs to move out the fine particles that pass through the 100 micron filter that, if not flushed, will ultimately accumulate at the distal end of each lateral. It is not necessary to scour growth off the inside wall of WASTEFLOW tubing. Since all pumps deliver more volume given less resistance to flow, just opening the flush valve will usually achieve this degree of flushing. When a minimum flushing velocity is requested, 0.5 feet per second is used with Wasteflow dripline to get the settled particles at the bottom of the pipe back into suspension. This equates to 0.375 gpm per dripline. c) Turbulent Flow Path WASTEFLOW drip emitters are pre -inserted in the tube 6", 12"or 24"apart with 24"being the most popular. Angles in the emitter flow path are designed to cause turbulence in order to equalize flow between emitters and keep the emitters clean. Geoflow emitters boast large flow paths, which, coupled with turbulent flow, have proven over the years to be extremely reliable and dependable 2 ROOTGUARD© is a registered trademark of A.I. Innovations 3 Treflan is a registered trademark of Dow Agro Sciences -71 lifal�.�Uall' y r: WASTEFLOW Classic d) WASTEFLOW Classic and WASTEFLOW PC Dripline Both WASTEFLOW Classic and WASTEFLOW PC have turbulent flow path emitters with ROOTGUARD and UltraFresh© protection. The WASTEFLOW PC has the added element of a silicone rubber diaphragm that moves up and down over the emitter outlet to equalize flows regardless of pressure between 7 and 60 psi. To ensure a long life the recommended operating range is 10 to 45 psi. For WASTEFLOW Classic the flow rate delivered by the emitter is a function of the pressure at the emitter. The Classic dripline has the advantage of no moving parts or rubber that may degrade over time. Also, when minimum flushing velocities are required, the flows during a dosing cycle and flushing cycle are very similar with the Wasteflow Classic because when the flush valve is opened, the pressure is reduced, causing the flows from the emitters to decline. PC driplines require significantly higher flow for flushing than dosing as the emitter flow does not go down during the flushing cycle. We recommend that WASTEFLOW PC be used when the advantages are of substantial economic value. i) WASTEFLOW PC can be run longer distances than WASTEFLOW Classic. ii) Steep slopes. Systems should be designed for the dripline lateral to follow the contour. When this is practical, the extra cost of installing pressure regulators required for WASTEFLOW Classic would likely be less than the incremental cost of WASTEFLOW PC. iii) Rolling terrain. If the difference in height from trough to peak exceeds six feet then WASTEFLOW PC should be. used. Vacuum relief valves must be placed at the top of each rise. 2. CONTROLLE RS (See Appendix 3) Controllers are used for time dosing and time flushing of the filter and dripfields. GEO controllers include a programmable logic control interface for field modifications. They can be used on systems ranging in size from one to eight zones at the time this manual was printed. All controllers include a surge arrestor, elapsed time meter and counter. For larger systems please inquire about our Wasteflow Manager controller which has monitoring and telemetry capabilities. 3. PUMPS AND PUMP TANKS WASTEFLOW dripfields depend on pumps to dose effluent under pressure to the field. These must be sized according to flow and pressure requirements. Look for submersible effluent pumps from a dependable source. Geoflow does not endorse a single manufacturer, but does advocate you use a pump that is readily serviced in your area. Pump tanks should be sized according to your local rules and regulations. 4. FILTERS Geoflow systems use a self-cleaning Vortex Filter with a stainless screen 150 mesh / 100 micron filter element. The self-cleaning action is efficient over a range of flow rates depending on the filter size. The clean -out port is at the base and can be opened and closed manually or automatically. If using a manual flush valve, please keep the valve cracked open slightly at all times for continuous flushing. Flush should be set at 1 %o of dosing flow but no less than 1 gallon per minute, whichever is greater. The controller will fully open automatic filter flush valves. 72 5. SUPPLY MANIFOLD This carries the water from the dosing tank to the dispersal area. Rigid PVC is usually used and must be designed to slope back to the pump tank in freezing conditions. The velocity in the manifold should be between 2 feet per second and 5 feet per second (fps). Refer to PVC pipe sizing chart in the appendix to determine the best diameter for your application. 6. RETURN MANIFOLD In order to help clean the system, the ends of the drip lines are connected together into a common return line, most often made of rigid PVC. This line will help equalize pressures in the system. Flushing should be done frequently during the installation period. Periodic flushing will help to keep the manifolds clean. The return manifold should be installed to self -drain back to the pump or pretreatment tank in freezing climates. i. PRESSURE REGULATOR (See Appendix 6 for product specification) Pressure regulators fix the inlet pressure at a given rate and are recommended with WASTEFLOW Classic. Under normal operating conditions, pressure in the drip lines should be 10 psi to 45 psi. 8. AIR VACUUM BREAKER (See Appendix 5 for product specification) Air vacuum breakers are installed at the high points to keep soil from being sucked into the emitters due to back siphoning or backpressure. This is an absolute necessity with underground drip systems. They are also used for proper draining of the supply and return manifolds in freezing conditions. One is used on the high end of the supply manifold and one on the high point of the return manifold. Additional air vents may be required in undulating terrain. Freezing conditions require the air vacuum breaker be protected with insulation. 9. FILTER FLUSH VALVES (See Appendix 4 for product specifications) Used to flush debris from the filter cleanout port back to the pretreatment tank, this can be an electronically activated solenoid valve or a manual valve. If manual, it should be opened for a full flushing at least every six months and left cracked open slightly to flush continuously. Cracking open a manual valve may be used to increase flow through the system to be within the efficient flow rate of the filter and/or pump, if necessary. Certain States may require automated electronic flushing. Please refer to your State codes. 10. FIELD FLUSH VALVES. (See Appendix 4 for product specifications) Used to flush out fine particles that have passed through the filter and accumulated on the bottom of the tube at the end of each lateral, the field flush valve can be manual or electronic. If manual, it should be opened for full flushing at least every six months and left cracked open slightly to flush continuously and provide for drainage of the flush line in freezing conditions. Cracking open a manual valve can also be used to; increase the flow through the system to be within the efficient flow rate of the filter and/or pump, or to set system pressure instead of a pressure regulator. Certain States do require automated electronic flushing. Please refer to your State codes. 11. ZONE VALVES Used to divide single dispersal fields into multiple zones, these can be hydraulic activated index valves or solenoid valves. 73 12. WASTE,FLOW HEADWORKS (See Appendix 7 for product specifications) WASTEFLOW Headworks is a pre -assembled unit including the filter, valves and pressure gauge in a jumbo box. It is installed between the pump and the field. Be sure to insulate the box in freezing climates. DESIGN PARAMETERS: 1. SELECT AREA Select the area with careful consideration of the soil, the terrain and your State and County regulations. Be sure the field is not in a flood plain or bottom of a slope where excessive water may collect after rain. Surface water should be directed away from the proposed field area. 2. WATER QUALITY Determine the quality of the water entering the system. Is it secondary treated or primary treated? If using primary treated effluent, please refer to Geoflow's article for direct septic found at www.geoflow.com or call 800-828-3388 for a copy. Be aware of water conditions intrinsic to the area. If iron or iron bacteria is prevalent, please be sure to eliminate it upstream of the drip system with ozone, ultraviolet or chemical treatment. Iron can be recognized as orange stain on plumbing fixtures and may be treated prior to entering the facility. 3. SOIL APPLICATION DESIGN Note: This section based on Subsurface Trickle Irrigation System for On -Site Wastewater Disposal And Reuse by B. L. Carlile and A. Sanjines. The basis of the information is from the Texas Health Department regulations. The rules in your County and State may vary. The instantaneous water application rate of the system must not exceed the water absorption capacity of the soil. A determination of the instantaneous water absorption capacity of the soil is difficult, however, since the value varies with the water content of the soil. As the soil approaches saturation with water, the absorption rate reduces to an equilibrium rate called the "saturated hydraulic conductivity." Wastewater application rates should be less than 10 percent of this saturated equilibrium. Even though the trickle irrigation system maximizes the soil absorption rate through the low rate of application, thus keeping the soil below saturation, there will be times when the soil is at or near saturation from rainfall events. The design must account for these periods and assume the worst case condition of soil saturation. By designing for a safetyfactor of 10 or 12, based on the saturated hydraulic conductivity, the system will be under -loaded most of the time but should function without surface failure during extreme wet periods. By applying wastewater slowly for a few hours daily, particularly if applied in "pulses" or short doses several times per day near the soil surface where the soil dries die quickest would keep the soil absorption rate at the highest value and minimize the potential of water surfacing in poor soil conditions. As stated previously, this design criterion will under -load the system at all titres except when the soil is at or near saturation from rainfall. If designing for an efficient irrigation system, the water supply may not be sufficient to meet the demands of a lawn or landscaped area during peak water demand months. This problem can be overcome by either of two solutions: add additional fresh -water make- up to the system during the growing season to supply the needed water for plants in question; or split the system into two or more fields with necessary valves and only use one of the fields during the peak water demand months and alternate the fields during winter months or extremely wet periods, or use both fields simultaneously if the pump capacity will so allow. 74 TABLE 1.

These loading rates assume a treated effluent with BOD and TSS values of less than 30 mg/1 is produced in the pre-treatment system and that any anomalies such as iron bacteria have been removed prior to dosing. NOTE, S 1) The above chart is provided as a guide only. States and Counties may have regulations that are different. Check your State guidelines and consult with your local health department. 2) Problems with drip dispersal fields occur when soils are misinterpreted. If in doubt, choose the more restrictive soil type from the table above. 3) "Soil type" should be based on the most restrictive layer within two feet of the dripline. In many soils 1-ft. vertical separation from the limiting layer has proven successful with secondary treated effluent. Geoflow recommends you follow State and Local guidelines. 4) Table 1 above, with only minor modifications over the years, has served us well since 1990 with tens of thousands of systems operating successfully based upon this data. However, thanks to work by Jerry Tyler and his associates at the University of Wisconsin -Madison soil structure has become better understood and can now be used as a comprehensive tool to determine optimal hydraulic loading rates. 75' Soil Textures Soil .Structure Maximum Monthly Average BOD5> 30mg/L<220mg/L BOD5<30mg/L TSS>30 mg/L<150 mg/L TSS<30mg/L (gallonsla2/day) (gallons/ft2lday) Course sand or coarser N/A 0.4 1.6 Loamy coarse sand N/A 03 1.4 Sand N/A 0.3 1.2 Loamy sand Weak to strong 0.3 1.2 Loamy sand Massive 0.2 0.7 Fine sand Moderate to strong 0.3 0.9 Fine sand Massive or weak 0.2 0.6 Loamy fine sand Moderate to strong 0.3 0.9 Loamy fine sand Massive or weal: 0.2 0.6 Very fine sand N/A 0.2 0.6 Loamy very fine sand N/A 0.2 0.6 Sandy loam Moderate to strong 0.2 0.9 Sandy loam Weak, weak platy 0.2 0.6 Sandy loam Massive 0.1 0.5 Loam Moderate to strong 0.2 0.8 Loam Weak, weak platy 0.2 0.6 Loam Massive 0.1 0.5 Silt loam Moderate to strong 0.2 0.8 Silt loam Weak, weak platy 0.1 0.3 Silt loam Massive 0.0 0.2 Sandy clay loam Moderate to strong 0.2 0.6 Sandy clay loam Weak, weak platy 0.1 0.3 Sandy clay loam Massive 0.0 0.0 Clay loam Moderate to strong 0.2 0.6 Clay loam Weak, weak platy 0.1 0.3 Clay loam Massive 0.0 0.0 Silty clay loam Moderate to strong 0.2 0.6 Silty clay loam Weak, weak platy 0.1 0.3 Silty clay loam Massive 0.0 0.0 Sandy clay Moderate to strong 0.1 0.3 Sandy clay Massive to weak 0.0 0.0 Clay Moderate to strong 0.1 0.3 Clay Massive to weak 0.0 0.0 Silty clay Moderate to strong 0.1 0.3 Silty clay Massive to weak 0.0 1 0.0 TABLE 2 DRIP LOADING RATES CONSIDERING SOIL STRUCTURE. Table 2 (above) is taken from the latest State of Wisconsin code and reflects Jerry Tylers work. -76 4. DEPTH AND SPACING WASTEFLOW systems usually have emitter lines placed on 2 foot (600 mm) centers with a 2 foot emitter spacing such that each emitter supplies a 4 sq. ft (0.36 m2) area. These lines are best placed at depths of 6-10 inches (150 - 250 mm) below the surface. This is a typical design for systems in sandy and loamy soils with a cover crop of lawn grass. Closer line and/or emitter spacing of 12 inches is used on heavy clay soils or very coarse sands where lateral movement of water is restricted Using closer spacing should not reduce the size of the field. 5. SOIL LAYERS AND TYPES The shallow depth of installation is an advantage of the subsurface dripfield since the topsoil or surface soil is generally the most biologically active and permeable soil for accepting water. The topsoil also dries the fastest after a rainfall event and will maintain the highest water absorption rate. The quality and homogeneity of the soil may present a problem. If the soil was not properly prepared and there are pieces of construction debris, rocks and non -uniform soils, it is very difficult to obtain uniform water spread. In many cases, particularly if the soil is compacted, soil properties can be greatly improved by ripping and disking. 6. ADDING FILL TO THE DISPERSAL FIELD Some dispersal sites require additional soil be brought in for agronomic reasons or to increase separation distances from the restrictive layer. Restrictive layers stop or greatly reduce the rate of downward water movement, as a result surfacing may occur during part of the year. In soils with high water tables treatment is minimized due to a lack of oxygen. Placing drip lines in selected fill material above the natural soil provides an aerated zone for treatment. Dispersal however still occurs in the natural soil and the field size must be based on the hydraulic capability of the natural soil to prevent hydraulic overload. Any time fill material is to be used, the area to receive the fill should have all organic material removed or it must be incorporated into the natural soil to prevent an organic layer from forming and restricting downward water movement. The fill material should be applied in shallow layers with the first 4 to 6 inches incorporated into the natural soil to prevent an abrupt textural interface. Continue this process until all fill has been incorporated. The fill area should be left crowned to shed surface water and may need diversion ditches or some other devices to prevent surface water from infiltrating. The entire fill area should have a vegetative cover to prevent erosion. If possible allow the fill to set at least seven to ten days before installing WASTEFLOW dripline. It is generally agreed that fill should not be used on slopes greater than 20%. 7. HIGH POINTS, SIPHONING AND SLOPES A potential problem with buried drip fines is siphoning dirt into the emitters when the pump is switched off. For this reason: a. Drip lines should have a fairly constant slope. Run dripline along a contour. b. At least one vacuum breaker should be installed at the highest point in each zone. c. Avoid installing lines along rolling bills where you have high and low points along the same line. If this is the case, connect all the high points together and install a vacuum breaker on the connecting line. (See Geoflow detail 602). d. Drip lines should be connected at the end to a common return line with a flush valve. 7% 8. EXCESSIVE ELEVATION DIFTERE, NCES WASTEFLOW Classic If the level variation within a WASTEFLOW Classic zone exceeds six feet, individual pressure regulators should be placed for each six-foot interval. WASTEFLOW PC WASTEFLOW PC can tolerate very large height variations provided the pressure remains within the 7 to 60 psi range, and preferably within 10 to 45 psi. At the end of each dosing cycle, water in the dripline will flow down to the bottom lines within the drip zone. This is called "lowhead drainage". On a slope site Geoflow recommends installing short manifolds with fewer lines and longer dripline runs. If unsure, a maximum of 1500 ft of Geoflow dripline within each zone or sub -zone can be used as a rule of thumb. Do not exceed 5 lines in a single zone or sub -zone with a slope greater than 10%. Be sure to open valves fully so manifolds drain rapidly. _._._._._._._._..._._._._..._._._..._._...

Manifolds .................... Manifolds 9. HILLY SITE Concentrate drip lines at the top of the hill with wider spacing towards the bottom. In the case of compound slopes consult a professional irrigation designer or engineer. 10. MULTIPLE ZONES Drip dispersal fields can be divided into multiple zones or subzones with solenoid valves or index valves for the following reasons: a. Steep slopes with a risk of lowhead drainage can be subdivided to distribute the water at system shut -down more uniformly in the field. b. Smaller zones reduce the required flow per minute which consequently reduces the size of the pump5, valves, filters, supply and return lines. c. Subdividing the field is a tool used to achieve the optimum ranges required to efficiently operate the Vortex filters. d. If the dispersal field is located in multiple areas on the property. e. To accommodate varying soils or vegetation on a single site. Note. On multiple zones, a single Wasteflow Headworks can be used for filtration and flushing by placing zone valves downstream of the Headworks box. All zones would require a check valve on the individual flush lines upstream of each line joining a common flush line to keep flush water from one zone entering any other zone during the flush cycle. (See Geoflow Design Detail No. 588) If the effluent has not been tluough secondary treatment, then each zone should have a dedicated filter or Wasteflow Headworks. 79 11. REUSE FOR IRRIGATION A good vegetative cover is an advantage to prevent erosion from the field and utilize water applied to the rooting zone. Sites should be planted or seeded immediately after installation. Grasses are particularly suitable for this application. Most lawn grasses will use 0.25"to 0.35 " (6.3-8.9mm) of water per day during the peak growing season. This calculates to be about 0.16 to 0.22 gallft2/day. By over -seeding lawns with winter ryegrass, this use efficiency can be continued through much of the year. For vegetation using 0.16 to 0.22 gal/ft2/day by evapotranspiration, a sewage flow of 1000 gallons per day would supply the water needs of a landscaped area of 4600 to 6400 sq. ft. without having to add fresh water. For areas larger than this, the plants will suffer water stress during the hot months unless additional fresh water is applied. 12. WATER APPLICATION FORMULA To determine the rate of application for various drip irrigation designs, use the following formula: Water application (inches per hour) _ (231 x (emitter flow rate gph)) / ((Emitter spacing inches) x (dripline spacing inches)) Example: Dripline with 1.3 gph flow rate emitters spaced 24"apart and dripline spaced 24"apart. Water application = (231x/.3)1(24x24) = 0.52 inches of water per hour. 79 2. WINTERIZATION Buried drip systems are not prone to frost damage because, in their design, vacuum release and drain valves are provided. The dripline itself is made of polyethylene and not susceptible to freezing. It drains through the emitters so will not be full of water after pumps are turned off. Please follow these precautions: a) Manifolds, supply lines and return lines must be sloped back to their respective dosing or treatment tanks. These lines need to drain rapidly. Under extreme conditions return and supply manifolds must be insulated or buried below frost -line. Be sure drain valve on flush line remains open long enough for entire field to drain. b) Remove the check valve at the pump. c) Insulate equipment boxes, including Headworks box or filter and field flush valve boxes as well as zone dosing valves, pressure regulator and air vacuum relief valves. Use closed -cell insulation such as Perlite in a plastic bag. d) In severe freezing conditions, use heat tape or small heater in the Headworks box. d) The top of air vacuum relief valves must be no higher than soil surface. e) If using an index valve to split field zones, be sure it is capable of self -draining. f) WASTEFLOW lines will self -drain through the emitters into the soil. If the cover crop over the dripfield is not yet adequately established, add hay or straw over the field for insulation. g) Mark the valve box with a metal pin so you can find it in the winter when covered in snow. h) If using manual filter flush valves or manual field flush valves, they should be left cracked open slightly to provide for rapid drainage of the flush line in freezing conditions. i) Fields dosed with relatively small quantities of effluent are more likely to freeze than those dosed with design quantities. If winter use is less than summer use, then only use proportional number of fields to maintain water application rates in the field being dosed. El SYSTEM MAINTENANCE: The best way to assure years of trouble free life from your system is to continuously monitor the system and to perform regular maintenance functions. For large systems or systems with a BOD > 30 mg/1 automation of maintenance is essential. For smaller systems with a BOD < 30 mg/l inspection and maintenance should be performed every six months. ROUTINE AND PRE' VENTATIVE MAINTENANCE 1) Remove the spin filter and install a clean cartridge. Clean the used filter cartridge back at the shop with a pressure hose. The filter cartridge should be cleaned from the outside inwards. If bacteria buildup is a problem we advise first trying lye, and if the problem persists, soak the filter cartridge in a chlorine bath - a mixture of 50% bleach and 50% water. 2) Open the field flush valve and flush the field for 3-5 minutes by activating the pump in "manual" position. Close the flush valve. On automatic solenoid valves the manual bleed lever should always be in the horizontal position and the dial on top should be free spinning. Clockwise rotation closes valve 3) With the pump in the "manual" position, check the pressure in the drip field by using a pressure gauge on the schraeder valve located on the air vents and by reading the pressure gauge located in the Wasteflow Headworks box, The pressure should be. the same as shown on the initial installation records. On systems with manual flush valves, close the field flush valve completely and then open the valve slightly until there is a 1-2 psi drop or design pressure is reached. This will allow the field to drain after each dose to prevent the manifold lines from freezing. 4) Remove the lids on the vacuum breaker and check for proper operation. If water is seen leaking from the top of the vacuum breaker, remove the cap of the vacuum breaker and press down on the ball to allow any debris to be flushed out. Be careful not to come in contact with the effluent. 5) Turn off the pump and reset the controller for auto mode. 6) Periodically remove and clean the air vents, field flush and filter flush valves. 7) Visually check and report the condition of the drip field, including any noticeable wetness. 8) Treatment and distribution tanks are to be inspected routinely and maintained when necessary in accordance with their approvals. 9) Record the elapsed time meter, pump counter, override counter, high-level alarm and power failures. This information can be obtained from the controller. 01 W A S T E F L O W P^ C WASTEFLOW PC 0.53 GPH WFPC16-2-24 WASTEFLOW PC 24"/ .53gph WFPC16-2-19 WASTEFLOW PC 18"/.53gph WFPC16-2-12 WASTEFLOW PC 12"1.53gph Alternative spacing, flow rates and diameters available upon request NVFPC16-2-24 Pressure Head WPFPC16-2-18 WFPC16-2-12 7-60 psi* 16 -139 ft. 0.53 gph Maximum Length of Run vs. Pressure Wasteflow PC Allows a minimum of 10 psi at the end of the line *Recommended operating pressure is 10-45 psi Pressure P Head WFPC 16-2-24 WFPC 16-2-18 WFPC 16-2-12 10 psi 23.10 ft. — — — 15 psi 34.65 ft. 321 ft. 260 ft. 174 ft. 20 psi 46.20 ft. 423 ft. 330 ft. 228 ft. 25 psi 57.75 ft 478 ft. 377 ft. 260 ft. 30 psi 69.30 ft. 535 ft. 415 ft. 289 ft. 35 psi 80.85 ft 576 ft. 448 ft. 313 ft. 40 psi 92.40 ft. 613 ft. 475 ft. 330 ft. 45 psi 103.95 ft 651 ft. 501 ft. 354 ft. 50 psi* 115.50 ft 675 ft. 523 ft. 363 ft. 55 psi* 127.50 ft 700 ft. 544 ft. 377 ft. 60 psi * 138.60 ft 727 ft. 563 ft. 403 ft.

GEO CONTROLLERS Geo controllers are the brain in the system, utilizing a programmable logic controller (PLC) to activate the pumps cycles, zone valves and flush valves when needed. See the table below for the control panel that fits your application. All Geo controllers have the following built-in log functions: - Elapsed time meter (ETM) - Pump events - Peak timer events - High level alarm events - Power failure events Note: ETM and pump events are recorded whenever contactor is energized. Float Functions GEO Controllers Floats Functions High Level Alarm Float Float raised - Alamt enable. Activates the audible and visual alarm when lifted. Audible alarm may be silenced by pressing the illuminated "PUSH TO SILENCE" button, The audible alarm reactivates after 12 hours if the alarm condition is not resolved. The alarm light will remain on until the float is lowered. Secondary Timer On/Off Float Float raised - Peak Timer enable. The Peak timer will cycle the pump(s) more frequently. The Peak Timer function will remain active until the Primary Tuner enable float lowers. When the Peak Timer function has been completed and the Primary Timer enable float is reactivated, normal timer operation will resume.

During high flow conditions the pump dosing cycles will be controlled by the Peak Timer (float 3 - activated). The Peak Timer off is typically set to trigger more frequent flow than the Primary Timer off setting. If duplex pump option is chosen, the pumps are alternated every pump cycle and never operate simultaneously. There is a selection switch for pump 1, pump 2 or alternation. This allows one pump to be taken out of service for maintenance without affectihg the operation of the system. Pump dosing cycles are controlled by the timers when the H-O-A switch is in the auto position. Under normal conditions the Primary Timer (float 2) will control the pump(s). During high flow conditions, the Peak Timer (float 3) will control the pump(s). The Peak Timer will cycle the pump more frequently than the Primary Timer (field adjustable). The pump will dose for the same amount of time as it does when operated by the Primary Timer but the time in between doses, or the Peak timer "off time", will be 75% of that of the Primary Timer "off time". Factory settings (field adjustable) are 1 hr 55 minutes off and 5 minutes on for Primary Timer and Peak Timer is set to 1 In 25 minutes off (1 hr 55 mins x 75%) and 5 minutes on. Consequently peak doses are more frequent than normal. Hydraulically activated zone valve(s) will index each time the PLC calls for a dose. Each time the pump is called for another zone is dosed. The controller does not dose all zones sequentially as "one" dose and ignores the fact that there are multiple zones for the purpose of dosing. For example if the Primary Timer is programmed to be off for I hour, on for 5 minutes and there are four zones, each zone will get 6 doses - five minutes in length - in a 24-hour period. The controller will dose a single zone every hour and will not dose all zones every hour. GE AUTOMATIC CONTROLLERS The Primary Timer (float 2 activated) controls the pump dose cycle during normal operating conditions. During high flow conditions the pump dosing cycles will be controlled by the Peak Timer (float 3 activated). If duplex pump option is chosen, the pumps are alternated every pump cycle and never operate simultaneously. There is a selection switch for pump 1, pump 2 or alternation. This allows one pump to be taken out of service for maintenance without affecting the operation of the system. The Vortex Filter flush valve will open for 15 seconds (field adjustable) at the end of the pump cycle to allow the filter to self -flush. When the vortex filter flush is complete, the filter flush valve will close and the system drain function will begin. Pump dosing cycles are controlled by the timers when the H-O-A switch is in the auto position. Under normal conditions the Primary Timer (float 2) will control the pump. During high flow conditions, the Peak Timer (float 3) will control the pump. The Peak Timer will cycle the pump more frequently than the Primary Timer. The pump will dose for the same amount of time as it does when operated by the Primary Timer but the time in between doses, or the Peak Timer "off time", will be 75% that of the Primary Timer "off time". Factory settings (field adjustable) are 1 hr 55 minutes off and 5 minutes on for Primary Timer and Peak Timer is set to 1 hr 25 minutes off (I hr 55 mins x 75%) and 5 minutes on. Zone valve(s) will open when the PLC calls for a dose or flush. These can be electrically operated solenoid valves (requires GE04 or GE08) or hydraulically activated index valves (used with GE01). Each time the pump is called for another zone is dosed. The controller does not dose all zones sequentially as "one" dose but rather ignores the fact that there are multiple zones for the purpose of dosing. The total doses of all zones in a 24-hour period must be considered when setting the "off' timer(s). After the pump is deactivated the electrically activated solenoid flush valve will remain open for five minutes (field adjustable) to allow for drainage of the supply line and return line. If hydraulically activated index valve is used, be sure to drain the supply line in freezing climates. If hydraulically activated index valves are used in combination with a solenoid field flush valve, a field setting for number of zones and number of zone valves is available. Field flush valve will open at the end of the dosing cycle. The pump will continue to run for 5 seconds (field adjustable) to accommodate the opening of this valve. After the pump is deactivated the field flush valve will remain open for five minutes (field adjustable) to allow for drainage of the return line in freezing conditions. It is best to clock the length of time it takes the return flush line G to drain and use this to set your drain time. The activated zone valve remains open at the end of the dose for same " # " minutes as return flush E and filter flush valves to accommodate drainage of supply line. To periodically flush the dripfield, after 10 dosing cycles (field adjustable) the pump will operate for Q 5 minutes (field adjustable) with the field flush valve open. The field flush cycle will repeat until all zones have been flushed. This operation will also occur after a power outage. This is achieved by correctly inputting number of zone valves (if applicable) and number of zones during setting of the v controller values. 0 GEO Panel Components: N- Siemen's Logo programmable logic module for timing and controls.

TABLE II DESCRIPTION OF MAINTENANCE ITEMS ITEM DESCRIPTION Septic Tank When solids become concentrated in the septic tank, they will begin to also settle in the second chamber. When solids reach 1/3 of the liquid level in the first compartment of the tank, they should be pumped out immediately. When reattaching the access lids, inspect their seals, replace if damaged. High Water Alarm Follow all manufacturers' requirements relative to operation and servicing of the alarm. Malfunction of any electronic control equipment will probably require outside service for repair. Check the float controls to see that they remain at the proper design settings. Force Mains from Pump Stations to Media filters & fields Pump Station Equipment Specifications The route of the force mains should be checked for breakage. A break in the line would probably show up as a wet area at the ground surface. If solids have built up in tanks they should be pumped out. Check for infiltration at influent pipe and at seams in tank. All materials relative to the pumps, controls, electrical, filters, etc., shall be maintained by the owner.

Place pump "Hand -Off -Auto" switch in the "Hand" position to dead head pump against valves. The flow meter should not turn, and there should be no leaks. 2. With the pump running, place each zone valve in [lie "hand" (open) position one at a time to check operation. With the zone valve open, flow should register on the flow meter. When the zone valve closes (off position), the flow should slop. 3. With the pump "band" position open the filler backwash valve for 10 seconds then close. There should be no flow registering in the flow meter and you should hear the valves open and close. 4. Return all switch to the automatic position. V. Extended Check —Zone Dose Rates 1. Open the air release valve boxes and inspect. Make sure they close during dose (they should not leak water after air is evacuated). 2. Determine how many zones are in operation and the set-up flow rates from the installation records. 3. With the pump in the "Hand" position, select the first zone by placing the zone valve switch in the "Hand" position. After pressurization lime, check flow rate by reading the flow meter for a timed minute. Repeat for all zones. If flow varies by more than 10% from the original flow rate, investigate further to find and correct the problem. 4. After the final zone is checked, place the "Zone Return" valve in the "Hand" position and verify that the flow rate increased to provide field flushing. 5. Return all switches to automatic position. OWNER'S MANUAL GEORLOW DRIP IRRIGATION WASTEWATER DISPOSAL SYSTEM When and How to use the manual This owner's manual should be read cover to cover initially, and then as needed to answer any questions or assist the owner in fulfilling their maintenance and inspection responsibilities. This manual has been developed for the specific site and application and should be used as a guide for proper operation and maintenance of the system. When and Where to call for assistance or get additional infornrntion If at any time you have a question about the system or observe any alarm or unusual condition, you should call your qualified service representative or installing contractor as soon as possible. The owner should record in the back of this manual, the contact name and telephone number of the certified operator and the installing contractor. Overview of Manual The manual is organized to cover safety precautions and warnings, and is an overview of the system components and the owner's responsibility. Snfety Precautions and Warnings The owner or operator of the system should take precautions consistent with operators working with sewage and electricity when working with or around any of the system components. Electrical Hazards The system incorporates pump(s), float switches, relays and may electrical components that use 230 volts, 120 volts, or 24 volts AC. Improper use of equipment can cause an electrical shock and may lead to serious injury or death. Sewage Hazards Proper attention should be given to cleanup when working in and around the septic and pump tanks and wastewater handling equipment to insure that disease causing bacteria are not transmitted to persons or contact surfaces. The septic and pump tanks can allow for a toxic buildup of poisonous gasses that can lead to serious injury or death if inhaled. Heave Lifting Hazards The owner and/or operator should exercise proper caution when lifting heavy system components. Improper lifling of -heavy components -can .lead to loss.of limb and/or mobility.. _ . .. . Overview of Drip Disposal The system is a unique fluid handling system for dispersal of secondary effluent wastewater in soil systems. The system incorporates filtration, time and level controlled application, and low rate drip distribution. In conditions where land application with the use of conventional soil absorption fields are not acceptable, this system o ffers a unique method for surface distribution of the wastewater effluent. The system will receive secondary standard effluent from a pre-treahnent unit called Advantex. It is an aerobic and biological process giving a high degree of treatment to the wastewater. The incoming wastewater is trickled through a filtering textile media where microbials colonize and ingest the contaminants producing the high quality effluent. This provides the soil with an almost odorless clear liquid that is easily disposed of. Since the installation of the field distribution lines causes very little soil disturbance and effluent discharge volume from each emitter hole is insignificant, the installation of the system has very little site impact. After installation there are virtually no visible indications that the installation site is being used for disposal purposes. This system is especially suited for heavily wooded areas for both commercial and residential subdivisions. The system is operated by a controller that is activated by level sensing devises (standard mechanical differential float switches) located in a dosing tank downstream from the pre-treatment process. When activated by the rising level of effluent in the dosing tank, the controller will enable the disposal cycle, and as dictated by the time clock, pump the effluent through a 100 micron screen filter and [hen to final drip dispersal. The pump control panel is equipped for three float switches to control the limed doses to be discharged. The float switches, "Low Water Off/Dose Enable", "Timer Override" and "High Level Alarm" function as follows. "Low Water Off/Dose Enable" — The water level must be high enough to overcome the (first & bottom) float in order for the pump to be permitted to run in the automatic mode. When the water level rises high enough t overcome the float and [he time clock has timed out the preset time delay the pump will activate and the lead zone is dosed. The pump will continue to run for the length of time as adjusted on the pump run timer and then shut off. The pump will remain off until the internal time clock again times out the preset time delay, after which time pump will activate (as long as the "Dose Enable" float is still up) and will run until the pump run timer finishes it's timed dose, This process will repeal until either the water level drops to the "Low Water" level or the pump run timer has timed out. "Timer Override" — If the water level rises to overcome the "Tinter Override' float, the microprocessor starts the "override" mode of operation. It will send short doses of effluent (field programmable) to each zone until the "override" condition has been corrected and the water level has dropped below the "Timer Override" float. This is helpful when extraordinary conditions occur such as unusually high wastewater flows during holiday periods or large entertainment activities. "High Level Alarm" — If the water level rises enough to overcome the "High Level" float, the audio/visual alarm will activate. The audio portion of the alart may be silenced by pressing the Test -Normal -Silence switch (located on the outside of (lie control panel) to the Silence position. The alarm circuit will latch until manually reset after the "High Level" float returns to its normal (down) position. The alarm circuit is manually reset by switching the high level Reset/Off-Normal switch (located inside the control panel on the inner door) to the Reset position then back to normal. Drip Tubing The drip field supply line conveys the effluent to the drip absorption zone that is being dosed where it is discharged to the soil through a patented chemical -resisting pressure compensating self flushing "drip" emitter. The emitters or "drippers" are located every two feet in the tubing and emit 0.53 gallons per hour per emitter. The dripper lines are automatically scoured (forward flushed) approximately one a week. This function is activated by the controller that opens the field flush valve, thus allowing the flushed effluent to be refiiiiied'to th6 septic tank. The duration on flush cycle is determined by the volume of effluent in the supply, drip tubing and retunm lines. The duration time is calculated but also can be field programmable if it is determined that each zone needs to be flushed longer. The flushing cycle produces a high velocity cleansing/scouring action by the effluent along the inside walls of the dripper tubing, PVC manifolds and emitters. The construction of the drip tubing is unique in that the internal diaphragm construction provides for an exact amount of effluent to be discharged front each of its emitters which are spaced at two feet intervals along the entire length of the drip tubing. Each emitter maintains a constant flow over pressure ranges of 7 up to 60 psi. Because the effluent is distributed over large area during controlled periods of time without saturating the surrounding soil. The Geoflow brand drip tubing is coated on the inside with a bactericide, Ultra Fresh DM-50, to inhibit bacterial growth on the walls of the tube and in the emitter, eliminating the need to scour the dripline with velocities exceeding turbulent flow. Each emitter has ROOTGAURD protection, a patented process that prevents roots from entering the emitters. The active ingredient, Treflan, is impregnated into the emitter during the molding process to direct root growth away from the emitter and it is non -toxic. Air Release Valves The drip field return line conveys the effluent from the drip absorption zone (used to "flush" or the clean tubing) back to the septic tank. Each zone will have an air release valve housed in a small valve box at the highest point of the return manifold pipe in each zone. The valve will close when the water pressure arrives at the valve during each dose. The air release valve allows air to reenter the tubing after each dose to allow the tubing to drain. This also prevents the uphill tubing from draining water into the downhill tubing and overloading downhill tubing. In the event of damage to the air release valve, effluent may leak from the system. This condition should be fixed immediately by replacing damaged parts. Air release valves should not be covered with soil or other material and should always be accessible to the service personnel. Controller The controller is enclosed in an outdoor electrical control box located near and connected to the pump, the float switches, and the electronic valves of the system. The control panel uses 230 volt power and the microprocessor has 120 V and 24 V AC inputs and relay outputs for automatic operation of the system. When in the "Hand" or "Off' position, the manual switches (Hand -Off -Auto) on the door of the control panel, completely bypass the microprocessor. The "Hand" position will allow manual operation of the entire system ht the event of a microprocessor failure or during service interval. NOTE: THE HOMEOWNER ASSUMES FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONDITIONS OR MALFUNCTIONS DUE TO MANUAL OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM BY ANYONE OTHER THAN A QUALIFIED SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. LEAVING THE PUMP CONTOL IN THE "HAND" POSITION WILL FORCE THE PUMP TO RUN CONTINUOUSLY AND MAY RESULT IN PUMP FAILURE.

Headworks Unit The submersible pump delivers pre-treated, secondary quality effluent to a final 150 mesh (100 micron) vortex screen filter. The filter flushing schedule is triggered at the beginning of each dose cycle. The accumulated impurities discharge back into the septic tank. The flush procedure lasts approximately thirty seconds (field programmable) then the flushing valve closes. Effluent will then be pumped through the vortex filter, then through the'flow meter afid-finally through the outlet manifold to the drlp'fleld zone supply lines. OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY Preventive Maintenance The drip field area should not be used for any other purpose. Under no conditions are any structures, automobiles, or heavy machinery to be allowed on the side. In order to prevent erosion, the site should be established and maintained as a healthy lawn, or if wooded, the site should be mulched and stabilized. Erosion of the site and the adjacent areas should be controlled and eliminated. Surface water flows must be diverted away from all components of the system. Scheduled Inspections The drip field should be walked and inspected at least once a month for the First twelve months of operation. After twelve months of operation without showing symptoms of failure, the drip field should be walked and inspected quarterly. Symptoms to look for on the walk through inspection are patches of wetness. If symptoms are identified, notify your certified operator immediately. The tanks, pre-treatment system, and all controls should be inspected according to the "Maintenace Schedule' by a certified operator. The septic tank should be pumped when the sludge level reaches 1/3 the liquid level of the septic tank. Alarms — Notifying Certified Operator of Alarms/);vents The system contoller is equipped with an audible/visual alarm to warn of high water level condition. The high level alarm may be silenced by pressing the "silence" button on the side of the control panel. Since a high water level condition can be caused by pump failure, excessive infiltration, or an unusually large peak flow, the owner Should call the system operator to determine the cause of the alarm prior to requesting service. If at any time there are any indications of failure such as wetness in the drip field area or the tank area, notify your system operator immediately. Monitor & Regulate Waste Input to Seude Tanks Since all processes in this sewage disposal system use biological activity to treat the wastewater, only typical biodegradable household wastes are to be disposed of in drains leading to the septic tank. Never dispose of pesticides, oil or grease based products, cigarettes, eggshells or any other non -biodegradable solids (especially feminine hygiene products) into the system. Minimize disposal of high strength over-the-counter type products such as bleach, and don't use colored toilet tissue. All wastewater disposal systems should be treated with proper care and maintenance to insure long-term performance. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS The system controller monitors the liquid level in the pump tank. In the event of a high-level alami or peak dose enable condition, an alarm will sound. Contact the system operator.

The tank is do enclosed, watertight receptacle designed to collect wastewater; segre- gate settleable and floatable solids (sludge and scum); accumulate, consolidate, and store solids; digest organic matter; and discharge treated effluent, BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) m reoval s of greater than 65% and TSS (total suspended solids) removals of greater than 70% are easily accomplished. The tank operates as a plug -flow type of reactor (fluid and particles enter and exit the tanl( in pro- gressive sequence). Wastewater separates into three distinct layers: a floating scum layer, a bottom sludge layer, and a clear zone in between, which is relatively free of large solids. A pump vault with effluent filter located at the outlet end of the tank draws liquid effluent from the clear zone, and the filtered effluent is dosed to the next step in the treatment process ... the AdvanTexo Textile Filter. Because the AdvanTex° Treaunent System oper- ates in the recirculating mode, the filtrate from ra,e..a.,,.,.• , I,e nrncessine tank in one of two ways: to the back (outlet end) of the tank in Mode I and to the front (inlet end) of the tank in Mode 3. This plumbing configura- tion affects effluent quality. Effluent quality is also contingent upon a number of other condi- tions inside the tank: • strength and characteristics of incoming waste (see "Raw Influent," below) ' average flows within design range (typically 40-60 gallons per person per day) • adequate long-term solids retention for thorough digestion • watertightness of tank (for proper stratification of incoming waste to prevent treatment short circuiting and hydraulic overloading) • proper size of tank (for minimum 24-hour hydraulic retention time through the tanlis clear zone at average flow rates and when sludge and scum, are developed fully) If the above conditions are met, you can expect the following treatment performance from the processing tank; performance Expectations: Processing'Tank:' Boo, TSS O&O mg/L mg/L mg/L Raw Influent' 450 500 160 Septic Tank Screened Effluent: Processing Tank Reclrc/Bland W " 130 30 15-4o 10-20 5.

This lightweight, highly absorbeno textile material treats a tremendous amount of wastewater in a small space. The AdvanTex" filter operates in the recirculating mode, just like a recirculating sand or gravel Fil- ter, but loading rates are typically 5-20 times higher, for a number of reasons. For one thing, the textile media has a very large surface area — about 5 times greater than that of an equivalent volume of sand. Textile also has a greater void volume (fbr free -flow of oxygen) and greater water-hol(ling capacity. Wastewater percolates both through and -between the textile; media. A visible biological film nor- mally develops on the filter medium within a few days. BObt and TSS reductions occur almost immediately. Within the filter, aerobic conditions exist that are ideal for microbes that convert ammonia to nitrate (nitrification). Other conditions exist, too, that result) in Further nitrogen reduction within the media; Some AdvanTex® filters me configuted (Mode 3).so that the filtrate recirculates back to the high -carbon, low -oxygen environment at the inlet end of the processing tank, which is ideal for microbes that reduce nitrates to nitrogen gas (denitrificxation). Harmless nitrogen gas is then released freely back into the atmosphere. The FIX Series acclimation period for nitrification may range from four to eight weeks, or longer in colder cli- mates. AdvanTex0 filtrate effluent quality is dependent upon proper management of the retire/blend effluent flowing into the filter (which, in turn, is dependent on the conditions described on the previous page). If proper conditions are met, and with typical average daily flows of 40-60 gallons per capita per day, you can expect the following treatment performance: Performance Expectations: DOD.

Wetness or water marks may be an indication of weeping. 2 Inspect'splice box to ensure lid and connec- tions are jecure. 3 Verify hat floats are in good condition and properly ,cured to the float tree. Verify that near cords are early wrapped inside the riser so chat they cann�t interfere with the operation of the Floats. 4 Verify float operation. With MOA switch in Automatic, simulate system operation by lifting the floats in the same order that the liquid would lift them (bottom first, top last). 5 Determine whether the Biotubem effluent filter needs cleaning by testing the change in the tardes liquid level when the pump is on. Turn the retire pump on by flipping the MOA switch in the control panel to Manual. Watch the liquid level Inside the screened vault as the pump Is running for about 30 seconds to deter- mine if there is any noticeable liquid level differential between it and the tank liquid level, Return the MOA switch to Auto. When the liquid level difference between the inside and outside of the vault is about two inches or more, or if the low-level alarm is activated, the Biotube® cartridge may need to be cleaned. ADVANTEXO O.&M MANUAL If the Biombeo needs cleaning, do the following: • Turn circuit breaker off at service panel • Switch MOA and circuit breakers in control panel to "Off" • Slide Biotubem cartridge out of vault • If necessary, the RSV valve may be removed to allow room in the riser for cleaning the Biotubem — Pull RSV out of its Quick Disconnect hol ster (see photo next page) and place it in a plastic trash can — Hose off dte.trasli ran into the tank after replacing the RSV NOTE: Refer to RSV installation instructions for details on how an RSV works. • Hold Biotube® cartridge over open inlet of tank or primary compartment • Carefully spray build-up into tank • if there are significant solids in vault, remove and clean it too 6 Pull the pump and place it on a cleanable surface, like, the riser lid, or in a plastic trash can. Check the intake screen; wash off particles as necessary. Record the kinds of particles (cigarette butts, hair, lint, gum.

A recomi hendation for pumping should be made when the bottom of the scum layer is within 3" of the IIflow-through port of the baffle or when there is at accumulation of sludge to a depth within 6" below the flow -through port. After the first yeah measurement of septic tank sludge and scum thickness, measurements only need to be taken ab ut every three years, until the thickness- es approa-h their maximum depths. Textile Filter 1 Inspect for ponding.• The Filter should not be saturated. Effluent should move freely through the media. 2 While manifold is pressurized, check for prop- er positioning of orifice shields over each orifice. •Ifthere is ponding in the textile fiber became ofa build- up ofoil and grease, snnpr a tampir of the biomat and have it analyzed by an environmental tab to determine its chaacierinic. For the AX Series filter only: If them it ponding ofindeterminate came, coupled with a pungent odor, it may be necessary to clean the textile media. (Excesrive cleating will retard nitrification. Only clean as ofirn as necessary) The textile media hangs in individual rheea, and these sheets can be pulled ova for cleaning (if necessary). First, remove the Recirculating Splitter Valve. Use a hore or pressure washer, connected to the nearest spigot. Wab the biomat into the underdmin and it will flow back to the tank, as longs she Recirculating Splicer Valve has been removed. When done, replace RSV. Remembn': clean fiber only ifponding and odor occur. O&MADVANTEXO 3 Verify that there is equal spray on and under all orifice shields. (Bach orifice shield should show signs of organic biomat build-up on and underneath it.) 4 Check for clogged orifices (orifice shields with- out spray or biomat build-up underneath). You should be able to observe uniform water droplets dancing around orifice shields while dosing. . 6 Assess the character and color of the biomat. If it seems appropriate, tape a photo and comment on the growth and characteristics of the biologi- cal mat under and around the orifice shields. Biomats are natural and normally appear light - brown to dark -brown and gelatinous in texture. If the mat appears too light (yellowish with the texture of lard, wax, or margarine), the grease and oil concentrations should be checked. 6 Check the odor emitting from the filter. If a strong or offensive•odor (e.g., smell of rotten eggs, rotten cabbage, etc.) is emitted, measure the DO level in the filtrate and recirculation cham- ber and adjust the retire time, if necessary. MANUAL 7 Check squirt height and compare residual pres- sure against the start-up value. This may take longer than just cleaning and flushing the mani- fold, but will help establish frequency of cleaning. If the squirt height is 40.50% higher than the start-up value, clean and flush the manifold. (A 500/o increase in squirt height signals approximate- ly 180/oorifice blockage,) To Bush laterals you can run the pump.or use a bottle brush or pressure Fhubing with pump Flurbing with premve tuarber a• battle bnuh washer, Brushing or pressure washing is best. .(When Bushing AX laterals, biosolids slough into the bottom of the filter, then return to the tank.) Verify again that all orifices are clear. Re -check squirt height. 8 For the RX Series filter only, verify yentilation fan operation and air flow. Use an anemometer (available through Orenco) to measure the air Bowing through the system. 10.15 cubic feet per minute (cfm) per pod is typical. Record inlet Bow and outlet Bow, where applicable, to ensure there isn't a large difference between them. A large difference means that lealdng or bypassing is occurring. Clean vent pipe as necessary. I &M MANUJ ADVANTEX0 0 Miscellaneous 1 Exerei a all mechanical valves.

Routine Tests, Frequencies, and Typical Values While regional requirements vary, Orenco recom- merids that the following effluent tests be per- formed three -to -six months after system slarl-up; and an annual field -service inspection, including sampling, is to be scheduled in late spring or. in early summer. For AXN systems, there is to be a minimum of four inspections with sampling dur- ing die first two years, and then annual inspec- tions with sampling thereafter. These tests cart be performed in the Geld; they cost very little and do not require lab work. However, they are very useful in assessing system performance and maintenance.

O&M For Nitrogen (Reduction AdvanTexo Treatment Systems do an excellent job of reducing nitrogen, especially in the Mode 3 configuration, where Total Nitrogen` is typical- ly reduced to 10 mg/L or less. Because many people purchase AdvanTexm for its nitrogen reducing capabilities, and because nitrogen reduction is a complex, many -staged process, its important to understand the process, its related factors, the signs of effective nitrogen reduction, and hose to keep the process optimized. It's also important to know the Total Nitrogen limits required by the system user's permit. Some regulatory agencies have no requirement; some require a specific percentage reduction of a cer- tain kind of nitrogen (90-95% nitrification of ammonia nitrogen, for example); and some require that Total Nitrogen be reduced to levels at or near drinlring water quality at the point of Final dispersal, Finally, because influent characteristics greatly affect the amount of nitrogen reduction possible from any given system, it's vital to know the alkalinity of your waste source and the local/ regional norms for organic and ammonia nitrogen. . The Process In nitrogen reduction, ammonia is converted to nitrate'and then reduced through bacterial aciion to nitrogen gas, which can be released harmlessly to the atmosphere. Optimum nitrogen reduction requires the following; • Adequate alkalinity of approximately 250t mg/L or higher (lab test shows levels). • pH of 6-8 • Filtrate DO level of2.5-8 nig/L; Process tank DO level of <1 img/L • Adequate time for the nitrifying bacteria to develop (one to three months) • Adequate temperature (below 40• F retards the process) For a thorough description of the nitrogen reduc- tion process, see the Appendix, page 28. In resi- dential wastewater, the ammonia level is typically about 60 mg/L and the Total Nitrogen level is typically about 65 mg/L. Signs of Effective Nitrogen Reduction Service providers frequently ask us, "How do I know if my wastewater treatment system is reducing nitrogen?" A thorough description of key indicators is included in the Appendix. Following is a brief summary: • Clear, odorless filtrate effluent (a "see and sniff" test is generally considered sufficient) • Normal-looldng biomat on the textile filter' . (light -brown to dark -brown and gelatinous in texture) ..

Filtrate Alkalinity Too Low Available alkalinity determines the degree of nitrification possible for any wastewater treatment system, because it takes 7.14 parts alkalinity to nitrify 1part ammonia. • Good organic removal • T r„/ NJ,„,..,, ;, rA. .,.,.. ,.F...,..,,... ,..,d �,,,W,,,W rW rritrnorW. uinna Winner"_ mid nAder vo-�nr„ O&M ������, i aid;, ®t jt MANUAL i If filtrate hlkaliniry is too low: • Check jhe retire ratio; a high retire ratio increasy alkalinity consumption* I • Check 4nfluent TICN or ammonia levels and source Mkalinity If a large lquantity of nitrification is required, it may be n�cessary to add a buffering compound to the sysitem, to raise alkalinity levels.

Call Orenco Engineering for assistance, if necessary. Low Filtrate Nitrate Levels Residential packed bed filters normally yield 95+ percent nitrification (ammonia to nitrate). Therefore the ammonia levels in the filtrate should be low and die nitrate levels higher. Some denkrication typically is experienced through the packed bed filter. So the normal nitrate level may vary. Be sure you are familiar with cite mode of operation, as some AdvanTex® modes are config- ured to produce lower nitrate levels. If it appears that nitrification is dropping off: • Check the retire ratio; adjust as necessary* (high retire ratios may drive pH too low for effective nitrificationldenitrification and low retire ratios may not provide sufficient aeration) • Check for surface dogginglpondingend dean •Verify incoming ammonia levels as necessary • Check air now in the ventilation fan assembly (RX only) • Check Ehe-recirc ratio; if its too low (<3:1t) increasI as necessary* IFyour fi trate DO is tQg h (indicating excessive lactation), !Cs likely that excessive recirculation or insufficient hydraulic retention time are factors. Try the following: • Decrease the retire ratio* High Fi`trate Ammonia Levels Because rammonia is consumed during nitrifica- tion, Ihig� ammonia levels are a sign that some- thing is uemiss. Try the following: surface clogginglponding and clean • Check recirclblend for sufficient organic food source (high BOD — see Table, page 6 — may cause greater oxygen demand through the filter, reducing nitrification) - Adequate Time and Temperature Nitrifying bacteria require one to two months to develop, and extremely cold temperatures (below 400 F) retard that process. If the AdvanTex® Treatment System has been installed in a very cold climate, nitrification may not "lick in' for several months until warmer temperatures are reached. Typically, a June -September installation provides die necessary temperatures for a 30-60 day nitrification start-up time. Once nitrifiers colonize, they typically continue to nitrify through normal winter conditions. Only in severely cold regions should additional insulation as be necessary. *lCrep in 6ind that a rrci,r ratio than toe high can gutnnte a highly nerohic Giomnr growth on the pwnplifter, and a recirr ratio that's too low con tend to lihaate periodic odorr daring daring roentr, So nnrrh or the oprinumt ratio I Tools, Equipment, and Spare Parts List Many of the recommended maintenance and troubleshooting procedures require specialized tools, equipment, and spare parrs.

IMili WOMMMk; Appendix: The Nitrogen Reduction Process and Key Indicators The Process Nitrogen removal (or "nitrification/denitrifica- tion") is a biochemical process in which ammo- nia is converted to nitrate (nitrification) (2NHr converts to 2N0, + 3Hr0) and then reduced through bacterial action (denitrification) to nitro- gen gas, which can be released harmlessly to the atmosphere. During the nitrification process, about 9 parts oxygen are consumed in converting 2 parts ammonia to nitrate. Therefore, depending on the concentration of ammonia, a considerable amount of air may be needed. Other processes, like biological (BOD) reduction, may occur simultaneously and further elevate the demand for aeration, especially if the organic level is suitably high. In an abundance of air, all the aerobic or faculta- tive microbes compete for their share of oxygen. When the organic concentration is high, the microbes that oxidize organic matter, primarily the heterotrophic bacteria, are aggressive and tend to outcompete other microbes for the avail- able free oxygen in solution. The oxidation of ammonia is accomplished by amotrophic bacte- ria, which do not have as aggressive of a growth rate, so if there isn t an abundance of oxygen, nitrification suffers. Consequently, the nitrifica- tion process usually lags until the organic concen- tration is depleted or until sufficient oxygen is present. At a 2.5;1 BOD/TKN ratio, the nitri- frers may only make up about 10 percent of the microbial population. At 0.5tI BODITKN, the nitrifrers make up about 35 percent of the popu- lation. In a filtering process, the filter column must be deep enough, or the Filter media must be efficient enough at Filtering organic particles, to deplete organic concentrations to a level in which a suffi- cient population of nitrifrers will be sustained. The physical (dimensional) features of the Filter will vary depending on the medias characteristics — void ratio, moisture holdirig capacity, and Tankage, surge capacity, application rates, and loading characteristics are other design considera- tions that play a role in the sizing of the filter unit. Performance Indicators To judge the nitrogen -reducing performance (or potential) of arty wastewater treatment system, be sure to check the following perform- ance indicators; . Clear, Odorless Effluent Simple, "see and sniff' tests can be performed easily in the field, Effluent from packed bed filters (recirculating textile filters, recirculating . sand filters, intermittent sand filters) that are performing well should be clear (with turbidity 520 NTUst) and odorless. Tests for Ammonia and Nitrate Nitrogen If your system is oxidizing ammonia to nitrate (nitrifying), lab tests should measure relatively low ammonia levels and relatively high nitrate levels in the filtrate. Because nitrification responds to many'and varying conditions within the aerobic treatment processes, ammonia and nitrate nitrogen levels in the filtrate are the most ideal constituents to watch for any changes in performance. Start-up times can be plotted, optimum retire ratios can be gauged, cleaning Frequencies can be predicted, and nonvisible clogging or saturation detected by watching either of these constituents. BOD The nitrification process tequires oxygen, which is why nitrification is enhanced when BCD is extremely low, Measures of filtrate BOD should be <15 mg/L, although higher BOD may not necessarily correlate with low levels of nitrification. Dissolved Oxygen Dissolved oxygen also provides critical informa- tion with which to diagnose how well a system is performing. Measures of Dissolved Oxygen Should be in the range of 2.5 to 6 mg/L. If the DO level drops, the degree of nitrification will normally ¢rop as well, which could be a sign of blindi4 or saturated flow conditions — any- thing thatlmighr inhibit free air from flowing into the 4cem. (Though its quite possible to have low Qltrate DOs and still have high effluent quality, asimeasured by BOD and TSS levels.) i Bioloyicall Growth on Filter With "FIXI fill' treatment systems, biological growth oni the filter media is natural. The biomat should a+ar light -brown to dark -brown in color and gelatinous in texture. Influent 4haracterlstles Influent 6aracaeristics will greatly affect the amount of nitrogen reduction that is possible from any wastewater treatment system. I rmal residential nitrogen loads, pH: Porn pH typica*y needs to be 6-8. Alkalinity, Alkalinity is essential for nitrification. For each part ammonia chat is nitrified, 7,14 parts alkalinity are consumed (buffering the acidity ca ' ed by the release of hydrogen ions), Conseque dy, if the degree of nitrification is less than expe fired, it could simply be that there isn't sufficient Okalinity to support more. Typical resi- dential nitrification requires alkalinity above 2501 mg/L for circulating processes and double that for single t ass processes, Many wartewatermrams do not have sufficient alkalinity to support complete niv ificatiol i. Wastewatek streams without sufficient alkalinity to suppord complete nitrification may, depending on the typ of process, cause a depletion in the alkalinity I the point where the pH correspond- ingly drop to a level that causes the microbial activity to begrade (<Gt). Recirculating the efflu- ent helps, Since half the alkalinity can be restored in the rechIc or process tank, wherever denicrifica- tion occuidI (and adjusting the retire ratios may also bring Fhe pH back to preferred operating levels). But wastewaer streams that are alkalinity - starved caif't provide for 100% nitrification. The use dhow Flush fixtures requires special consideration. Low flush fixtures tend to reduce hydraulic loads, which causes elevation of wastewatelconstituents (i.e., BOD, TSS, TIW, etc.). In this case, the available alkalinity in the water supply may not be adequate to accomplish the full level of nitrification desired. These constraints exist for all wastewater treat- ment operations, regardless of whether the operation involves a suspended growth contact stabilization process or an attached growth packed bed filter. Packed bed systems will per- form better, especially if they have a large attached growth surface area per unit volume ratio, because of the micro -sites near the attached side of the biomat, where denitrification typically occurs, returning some of the alkalinity. Textile packed bed filters, because of their large surface area per unit volume ratio, tend to perform even better. Nevertheless, additional buffering may be necessary to accomplish the level of nitrification desired. OD amps alkalinity AWG BCD, CB cfm CT dfa. dill. DO EC ETM F FC ft. H,0 hp I&I Interv.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES All Gebflow drip systems require: 100 m'44cron / 150 mesh filter Filter fllush valve Field fjush valve and Air vet7t in each zone All W4steflow Classic drip systems require pressure regulation Handld your dripline and components with care. ROOTGUARDo is temperature sensitive. To assure a long Iilife store the drip line out of direct sunlight in a cool place. This should be a consideration when installing the, system in very hot and sunny areas. Your system life span will be increased if it is buri¢d all extra two or three inches below the soil surface, to avoid the warm temperature exlrenies. a) All dripfield construction shall be done in accordance with Local rules and regulations. b) No utilities, cable wire, drain tile, etc shall be located in dripfield. c) Felice off entire dripfield prior to any construction. d) Syktem is not to be installed when ground is wet or frozen. e) Divert all downspouts and surface waters away from dripfield or into curtain drains. f) Expavation, filling and grading should have been finished before installation of the subsurface drip system. g) Besure you have everything required for the installation before opening trenches. Pre -assemble as many sets of components as practical above ground and in a comfortable place. Compression or Lockslip adapters should be glued to PVC tees, riser units should be pre -assembled, the sub- mdin manifold with tees can be pre -assembled and used to mark the beginning and end of WA.STEFLOW lines. h) FoIt particularly tough soil conditions moisten the soil the day before opening trenches or installing WASTEFLOW. Remember it is much easier to install the system in moist soil. The soil should be moist but still should allow the proper operation of the installation equipment and not cause smearing in the trenches. The soil surface should be dry so that the installation equipment maintains traction, - -" i) Mirk the four corners of the field. The top two corners should be at the same elevation and the bottom two corners should be at a lower elevation. In freezing conditions the bottom dripline myst be higher than the supply and return line elevation at the dosing tank. j) Install a watertight dosing tank. In freezing conditions the dosing tank should be at the lowest elevation of the entire system. Install a watertight riser on the dosing tank if necessary. k) Determine the proper size for the supply and return manifolds. See Worksheet line (L). r and l) stake of the d spersal field.

Upon reaching the painted line, pull the plow out of the ground and cut the dripline I' above the ground. Tape the end of the dripline to prevent debris from entering. Continue this process until the required footage of pipe is installed. Geoflow to specification (2 ft. is standard). Depth of burial of dripline dripline must be spaced according must be consistent throughout the field. Take care not to get dirt into the lines. o) Install the supply header with lees lined up at each Geoflow line. Hook up the Geoflow lines to the supply header. Do not glue WASTEFLOW dripline. Installing Lockslip fittings a) Hold the fitting in one hand and position the tubing with the other hand. b) Move the sleeve back, and push the tubing onto the exposed stem as far as possible. c) Push the sleeve out over the tubing and thread the sleeve onto tubing, as though Lightening a nut to a bolt. Hand tighten. Do not use tools. p) Install the Vortex filter and filter flush valve, or install the pre -assembled Head worlcs between the field and the pump tank on the supply line. *Insulate the box in freezing conditions. q) If using a pressure regulator, install it downstream of the filter or Headworlcs, just ahead of the dispersal field, on the supply line. Although the pressure regulator can be buried directly into the soil, it is preferable to install it inside a small valve box for easy access. *Insulate the box in freezing conditions. r) Install the floats in the dosing tank and wire up to the timer control. The timer control should be set to pump no more than the design flow, do not set to match the treatment capacity. s) Install the pump. Fill the dosing tank with fresh water and turn on the pump. Check for flow out the ends of all of the Geoflow lines, Let the pump fun for about five minutes to flush out any dirt. Shut off the pump and tape the ends of the lilies. t) Dig the return header ditch along the line painted on the ground and back to the pre-treatment tank. Start the return header at the farthest end from the dosing tank. The return line must have slope back to the treatment tank or septic tank. u) Install the return header and connect all of the Geoflow lines. Care must be taken not to kink the dripline, v) Install air vacuum breakers at the highest points in the dispersal field. Use pipe dope or Teflon tape and hand tighten. w) Install a ball or solenoid field flush valve on the return line to the pretreatment or pump tank - unless a pro-assi;Frlbled Wasteflow Headworks is being dsed.IFa HetiNorks was installed on the supply line, connect the return line back through the Headworlcs box. Open the field flush valve and turn on the pump to flush lines then close the valve and check the field and all piping and connections for leaks. Turn off the system x) Turn on the pump and check the pressure at the air vacuum breaker(s). It should be between 15 to 45 PSI. Check the pressure in the WASTEFLOW Headworlcs if used. It should be five psi or higher, if using a manual valve for field flushing, crack it open until at least one PSI is lost or design pressure is reached and leave in that position. y) Check the filter for construction debris and clean. z) Provide owner with final as -built diagrams, flow measurements and pressure readings at startup. 17 2003 ve Installatua❑ anu u ........ nlet a) Wrap male adapters with 2 wraps of Teflon tape and threadghe adapters damahe to thee valve, valve. and outlet I turn past hand tight.

WASTEFLOW lines will self -drain through the emitters into the soil. If the cover crop over the dripfield is not yet adequately established, add hay or straw over the field for insulation. Mark the valve box with a metal pin so you can find it in the winter when covered in snow. If using manual filter flush valves or manual field flush valves, they should be left cracked open slightly to provide for rapid drainage of the flush line in freezing conditions. Vields dosed with relatively small quantities of effluent are more likely to freeze than those dosed with design quantities. If winter use is less than summer use, then only use proportional number of fields to maintain water application rates in the field being dosed. 21 2003 '�"•�•• SYS EM MAINTENANCEllancis g stems or systems with a BOD > The b st way to assure years of trouble free life from your system is to continuously monitor the syste and to perform regular maintenance functions.

T e drip dispersal system consists of a series of 1/2" diameter drip tubing installed at a shallow depth of 8-10"below the ground surface. It is designed to effectively disperse of the treated effluent in the gr and with a combination of soil absorption and plant uptake. Your drip dispersal system will fu ction for many years with only minimal maintenance being required, provided the following re nmmendations are followed: Establish landscaping (preferably a grass cover) immediately. This will stabilize the soil and allow for the vegetation to take up the water. Do not discharge sump pumps, footing drains or other sources of clear water to the system, except for the effluent discharge from your treatment system. Maintain all plumbing fixtures to prevent excess water from entering the dispersal system. Do not drive cars, trucks or other heavy equipment over the drip dispersal field. This can damage the drip components or the soil and cause the system to mal-function. Lawn mowers, rubber wheeled garden tractors and light equipment can be driven over the drip field. Do not drive tent stakes, golf putting holes, croquet hoops etc., into the dispersal field Contact your service company if your high water alarm should sound. The pump chamber is sized to allow additional storage after the high water alarm sounds but you should refrain from excessive water usage (i.e., laundry) until the system has been checked, After a temporary shut down due to a vacation or other reason, the treatment plant ahead of the drip field filter, initially may not function effectively, resulting in the filter blocking. A your service company if you notice any areas of excessive wetness in the field. In most this is usually caused by a loose fitting or a nicked dripline and can be easily repaired. Note: may be some initial wetness over the driplines following the system's installation. This should once the ground has settled and a grass cover is established 23 2003 SHOOTING GUIDE: ptom: alarmh water mriodl a normal es/ leek). During other times the water level the pup chamberis a cause: Peak water usage (frequently laundry day) is causing a temporary high water condition to occur. medy: Set timer to activate the pump more frequently. Be sure to not exceed the total design now. To avoid this, reduce the duration of each dose. :medv: Provide a larger pump tank to accommodate the peak flow periods. mptom: High water alarm activates during or shortly after periods of heavy rainfall. le cause: Infiltration of ground/surface water into system. Remedy: Identify sources of infiltration, such as tank seams, pipe connections, risers, etc. Repair as required. ptoln: High water alarm activates intermittently, including times when it is not raining or when laundry is not being done. cause: A toilet or other plumbing fixture may be leaking sporadically but not continuously, Check water meter readings for 1-2 weeks to determine if water usage is unusually high for the number of occupants and their lifestyle, Also determine if water usage is within design range. :medy: Identify and repair fixture. ptom: High water alarm activates continuously on a new installation (less than 3 months of operation). Inspection of the filter indicates it is plugged with a gray colored growth, Water usage is normal. cause: Slow start-up of treatment plant resulting in the presence of nutrient in the effluent sufficient to cause a biological growth on the filter. This is typical of lightly loaded treatment plants that receive a high percentage of gray water (i.e., from showers and laundry). :medy: Remove and clean filter cartridge in a bleach solution._ Add a gallon of household bleach to pump tank to.P.Ag e_otganics. Contacmeatment plant manufacturer for advice,on speeding up the treatment process possibly by "seeding" the plant with fresh activated sludge from another treatment plant, ptom: Water surfaces continuously at one or more isolated spots, each one foot or more in diameter. cause: Damaged drip line or a loose connection is allowing water be discharged under pressure and therefore at a much greater volume than intended. :medy: Dig up drip line. Activate pump and locate leak. Repair as required, cause: If water is at base of slope, can be caused by low -head drainage. ;medy: Install check valves and airvents in the manifolds to redistribute water in the system after pump is turned off. This is not advised for freezing climates where manifold drainage is required. 24 I Geoflow Design and Installation Manual Symptom: A portion of the drip field closest to the feed manifold is saturated while the rest of the field is dry. Bible cause: Insufficient pump pressure. A pressure check at the return manifold indicates pressure of less than 10 psi, Remedy: Check filter and pump intake to insure they are not plugged. If they are, clean as required. Remedy: Leaks in the system may be resulting in loss of pressure. Check for water leaks in connections and fittings or wet spots in the field. Also check air vents to insure they are closing properly. Repair as necessary, Remedy: Pump is worn or improperly sized. Pressure at feed manifold in less than •15 psi. Verify pressure requior larger rements of system and provide a new gr' pump. As an alternate approach, the drip field may need to be divided into two or more zones. ssible cause: The duration of each dose is of insufficient length to allow the drip field to become pressurized before the pump shuts off (or runs for only a brief time before turning off). Remedy: Increase the pump run time and decrease the frequency of doses. Always calculate (or observe during field operation) how long the system takes to fully pressurize and add this time to the design dosing duration. Symptom: High water alarm begins to activate continuously after a long period (1-2 years) of normal operation. Inspection of the filter indicates it is plugged with a heavy accumulation of sludge. sibte cause: A buildup of solids in the pump tank due to carryover from the treatment plan[. Remedy: Replace the filter cartridge with a clean cartridge. Check the pump tank and if an accumulation of solids is noted, pump the solids out of the pump tank. Also, check the operation of the treatment plant to insure it is operating properly. Symptom: Water surfaces at several spots in drip field during dosing periods. Installation is recent, less than 6 months of usage and the soil is a moderate to heavy clay. Possibly, the installation was completed using a non -vibratory plow. ;sible cause: Smearing of the soil may have occurred during installation of drip line. Also, the `but' resulting from the installation allows an easy path for the water to surface during dosing. Remedy: In most cases -the -sod will compact naturally around the, drip line and the surfacing will diminish and ultimately cease. To help, reduce the duration of each dose and increase the number of doses/day. Also, it will help to seed the area to encourage the development of a good root zone. 25 2003
